Abstract
The behavior of a damped kicked rotator subjected to a periodic string of a symmetric pulses of finite amplitude and width is investigated. We discuss physical conditions for the results to be independent of the particular cho ice of the pulse waveform. Analytical (Melnikov analysis) and numerical (Ly apunov exponents) results show that the extension of chaos in parameter spa ce reaches a maximum as the pulse width is varied.
