B. Reisner et al., ATTRACTOR MERGING CRISIS IN THE DOUBLE-SCROLL OSCILLATOR, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. A, A journal of physical sciences, 50(12), 1995, pp. 1105-1107
We investigate the transition from a mono-scroll to a double-scroll at
tractor observed in the chaotic dynamics of an electronic oscillator.
The description in terms of an attractor merging crisis turns out to b
e successful. The finding is supported by the topological structure of
the attractor and the scaling behavior of the mean residence time.
