TL;DR

The intermittency studied is closely related to multiplicative noise processes. The authors investigate a new type of intermittency, distinct from Pomeau‑Manneville, in a coupled nonlinear LCR circuit. They employ a circuit of inductors, resistors, and capacitor diodes, conducting both experimental measurements and numerical simulations that capture the diodes’ nonlinear dynamics. Experimental and numerical results agree with a phenomenological model based on multiplicative noise, validating the new intermittency type.

Abstract

An intermittency which has a different origin from the Pomeau-Manneville types is studied in a coupled nonlinear LCR circuit. This type of intermittency has a close relation to the multiplicative noise process. The electronic circuit is made up of inductors, resistors and capacitor diodes. An experimental study is done in this system. The results are compared with those of a phenomenological based on the multiplicative noise process. Moreover, a numerical calculation is also carried out on the equations for the present circuit with observed nonlinear characteristic of diodes. Satisfactory agreement between the experimental and calculated results is obtained.
