Corrections to universal scaling in real mapsI discuss the universal aspects of scaling in period-doubling sequences in families of maps of the real line possessing non-integer degree. I show that the scaling behaviour in both the orbital and…Keith Briggs·Aug 4, 1994SaveLearn
Simple Maps with Fractal Diffusion CoefficientsWe consider chains of one-dimensional, piecewise linear, chaotic maps with uniform slope. We study the diffusive behaviour of an initially nonuniform distribution of points as a function of the slope…R. Klages, J. R. Dorfman·Aug 3, 1994SaveLearn
Stability of Wavelengths and Spatiotemporal Intermittency in Coupled Map LatticesIn relation to spatiotemporal intermittency, as it can be observed in coupled map lattices, we study the stability of different wavelengths in competition.
