Logarithmic periodicities in the bifurcations of type-I intermittent chaos
The critical relations for statistical properties on saddle-node bifurcations
are shown to display undulating fine structure, in addition to their known
smooth dependence on the control parameter. A piecewise linear map with the
type-I intermittency is studied and a log-periodic dependence is numerically
obtained for the average time between laminar events, the Lyapunov exponent and
attractor moments. The origin of the oscillations is built in the natural
probabilistic measure of the map and can be traced back to the existence of
logarithmically distributed discrete values of the control parameter giving
Markov partition. Reinjection and noise effect dependences are discussed and
indications are given on how the oscillations are potentially applicable to
complement predictions made with the usual critical exponents, taken from data
in critical phenomena.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in PRL (2004
