On-off intermittency in a human balancing task

JL Cabrera, JG Milton - Physical Review Letters, 2002 - APS
Motion analysis in three dimensions demonstrate that the fluctuations in the vertical
displacement angle of a stick balanced at the fingertip obey a scaling law characteristic of on …

Human stick balancing: tuning Lévy flights to improve balance control

JL Cabrera, JG Milton - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of …, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
State-dependent, or parametric, noise is an essential component of the neural control
mechanism for stick balancing at the fingertip. High-speed motion analysis in three …

Critical transitions in thin layer turbulence

SJ Benavides, A Alexakis - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - cambridge.org
We investigate a model of thin layer turbulence that follows the evolution of the two-
dimensional motions along the horizontal directions coupled to a single Fourier mode along …

Noise-induced synchronization of spin-torque oscillators

Y Imai, S Tsunegi, K Nakajima, T Taniguchi - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Noise-induced synchronization is a phenomenon where several oscillators with different
initial conditions show synchronized motion, even in the absence of a coupling between …

On-off intermittency in stochastically driven electrohydrodynamic convection in nematics

T John, R Stannarius, U Behn - Physical review letters, 1999 - APS
We report on-off intermittency in electroconvection of nematic liquid crystals driven by a
dichotomous stochastic electric voltage. With increasing voltage amplitude we observe …

Low-frequency noise controls on-off intermittency of bifurcating systems

S Aumaître, F Pétrélis, K Mallick - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
A bifurcating system subject to multiplicative noise can display on-off intermittency. Using a
canonical example, we investigate the extreme sensitivity of the intermittent behavior to the …

Pseudolaminar chaos from on-off intermittency

D Müller-Bender, RN Valani, G Radons - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
In finite-dimensional, chaotic, Lorenz-like wave-particle dynamical systems one can find
diffusive trajectories, which share their appearance with that of laminar chaotic diffusion …

Bifurcation to strange nonchaotic attractors

T Yalçınkaya, YC Lai - Physical Review E, 1997 - APS
Strange nonchaotic attractors are attractors that are geometrically strange, but have
nonpositive Lyapunov exponents. These attractors occur in regimes of nonzero Lebesgue …

1/f noise and anomalous scaling in Lévy noise-driven on–off intermittency

A Van Kan, F Pétrélis - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
On–off intermittency occurs in nonequilibrium physical systems close to bifurcation points,
and is characterised by an aperiodic switching between a large-amplitude'on'state and a …

Symmetry-breaking bifurcation with on-off intermittency in chaotic dynamical systems

YC Lai - Physical Review E, 1996 - APS
When a dynamical system possesses certain symmetry, there can be an invariant subspace
in the phase space. In the invariant subspace there can be a chaotic attractor. As a …
