| contents | We present a study of a quasi-integrable deformation of the three-particle open Toda chain, constructed by introducing a translation-invariant three-body interaction terms. Although this modification explicitly breaks the exact integrability of the standard Toda model, it retains fundamental structural properties, including energy and momentum conservation. Furthermore, we show that under a specific time-reflection and discrete symmetry among the chain coordinates, the system admits a quasi-conserved higher-order integral. Through analytic and numerical analysis of the deformed dynamics, we demonstrate the emergence and long-time persistence of quasi-conserved quantities, thereby establishing a controlled realization of quasi-integrability in a minimal nonlinear chain. Given the central role of integrable systems in elucidating the dynamics of classical and quantum models, this framework provides a concrete setting to investigate the mechanisms underlying the gradual breakdown of integrability and the onset of quasi-integrability in few-body systems. |
