Prelude Phase-Locking Staircases to Type V Intermittency in Some Nonlinear Electronic Circuits
Ying Wang · Journal of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology · 2003
The V type intermittency prelude phaselocking staircases displayed in three nonlinear electronic circuits are reported. The staircases may consist of a few phaselocked steps, or even zero number of steps, or take form of a conventional devil's staircase, or form of a multiple devil's staircase. In the later two cases, winding number or transfer number varies monotonically inside each branch of conventional devil's staircase when the control parameters change, and the distribution of phaselocked steps follow Farey tree rule. The chaotic attractor appearing after the staircase is always the endresults of the image set of the discontinuous borderline.
