A New Intermittency in Coupled Dynamical Systems

Abstract

A coupled-chaos system consisting of two subsystems is numerically studied slightly below the transition point separating the uniform chaos from a non-uniform state. It is shown that the system exhibits two types of intermittency, depending on the statistical property of the uniform chaos. One is the tangential type and the other is a new one having a highly intermittent characteristics with abrupt insertion of temporally localized oscillations.
