Zl. Qu et al., SPATIOTEMPORAL ON-OFF INTERMITTENCY BY RANDOM DRIVING, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 53(2), 1996, pp. 1301-1304
Spatiotemporal on-off intermittency by random driving in spatially ext
ended systems modeled by coupled map lattices is discussed. System siz
e and coupling strength influence the onset of intermittency largely.
At the onset, the temporal distribution of the laminar phase of one si
te still exhibits a power law with exponent -3/2 like that in a single
map, while the spatial distribution displays a -1 power law with an e
xponential tail at large size for strong couplings.
