Popis: A numerical analysis of a one-dimensional Hamiltonian system, composed by $N$ classical localized Heisenberg rotators on a ring, is presented. A distance $r_{ij}$ between rotators at sites $i$ and $j$ is introduced, such that the corresponding two-body interaction decays with $r_{ij}$ as a power-law, $1/r_{ij}^{\alpha}$ ($\alpha \ge 0$). The index $\alpha$ controls the range of the interactions, in such a way that one recovers both the fully-coupled (i.e., mean-field limit) and nearest-neighbour-interaction models in the particular limits $\alpha=0$ and $\alpha\to\infty$, respectively. The dynamics of the model is investigated for energies $U$ below its critical value ($UComment: 16 pages, 7 figures
