A generalization of the standard map and its statistical characterization.

From the statistical mechanical point of view, area-preserving maps have great potential and importance. These maps exhibit chaotic and regular behavior separately or together in the available phase space as the control parameter changes. Several works on these maps, e.g., the standard map and the web map, have shown that ergodicity breakdown causes the statistical mechanical framework that describes the dynamics of the system to change. In this paper, for a novel generalization of the standard map, which we define by generalizing the periodic function used in its definition, we verify that a q-Gaussian with [Formula: see text] for the probability distribution of sum of the iterates of the system with initial conditions chosen from the nonergodic stability islands is robust. We also show that the probability distributions become more complicated and unexpected limiting behavior occurs for some parameter regimes.

Generalized Pesin-Like Identity and Scaling Relations at the Chaos Threshold of the Rössler System.

In this paper, using the Poincaré section of the flow we numerically verify a generalization of a Pesin-like identity at the chaos threshold of the Rössler system, which is one of the most popular three-dimensional continuous systems. As Poincaré section points of the flow show similar behavior to that of the logistic map, for the Rössler system we also investigate the relationships with respect to important properties of nonlinear dynamics, such as correlation length, fractal dimension, and the Lyapunov exponent in the vicinity of the chaos threshold.
