Resumen:
Abstract. In this communication we analyze the behavior of excited drops contained in spherical volumes.We study different properties of the dynamical systems, i.e. the maximum Lyapunov exponent MLE, theasymptotic distance in momentum space d∞ and the normalized variance of the maximum fragment. It isshown that the constrained system behaves as undergoing a first-order phase transition at low densitieswhile as a second-order one at high densities. The transition from liquid-like to vapor-like behavior issignaled both by the caloric curves, the thermal response functions and the MLE. The relationship betweenthe MLE, d∞, and the caloric curve is explored.PACS.
