Coupled Harmonic Oscillator Lattice Eigenmodes

Plot of eigenvectors (mode configurations) and eigenvalues (mode frequencies) for a classical lattice of coupled harmonic oscillators, with open, closed, and periodic boundary conditions. These were generated from harmonic-lattice.py. A full description of the Lagrangian is commented in the code.

In these plots, each eigenvector is plotted with its eigenvalue given by x-axis height (the same way, eg, that particle in a box modes are often depicted).
Caution: If you click, get ready to SCROLL a LOT!

And here is an example (different params) of the eigenvalues coalescing as BCs transition from closed to periodic.
