Scaling features of multimode motions in coupled chaotic oscillators

摘要

Two different methods (the WTMM- and DFA-approaches) are applied to investigate the scaling properties in the return-time sequences generated by a system of two coupled chaotic oscillators. Transitions from twomode asynchronous dynamics (torus or torus-Chaos) to different states of chaotic phase synchronization are found to significantly reduce the degree of multiscality. The influence of external noise on the possibility of distinguishing the various chaotic states is considered. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
