intermittency

Intermittency Pomeau and Manneville described 3 routes to intermittency where an almost periodic system displays irregularly spaced breaks of chaos. These kinds of correspond to typically the approach to a saddle-node bifurcation, a subcritical Hopf bifurcation, or an inverse period-doubling bifurcation. In the apparently periodic stages the behaviour is usually only nearly periodic, slowly drifting…
