Fractal basin boundaries, long-lived chaotic transients, and unstable-unstable pair bifurcation

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

A new type of bifurcation to chaos is pointed out and discussed. In this bifurcation two unstable fixed points or periodic orbits are created simultaneously with a strange attractor which has a fractal basin boundary. Chaotic transients associated with the coalescence of the unstable-unstable pair are shown to be extraordinarily long-lived.
