Popis: The motion of the dynamical system of two pendula coupled with each other («double-pendulum model») is investigated in the vicinity of a separatrix by using the Liouville equation. The irreversible kinetic equation of the Fokker-Planck type for the momentum distribution function is obtained in the «weak-coupling» limit. It is shown that the system monotonically approaches the «microcanonical» equilibrium state and further the diffusion coefficient for this process is related to that obtained by Chirikov’s heuristic argument.
