The transition to aperiodic behavior in turbulent systems

Communications in Mathematical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Some systems achieve aperiodic temporal behavior through the production of successive half subharmonics. A recursive method is presented here that allows the explicit computation of this aperiodic behavior from the initial subharmonics. The results have a character universal over specific systems, so that all such transitions are characterized by noise of a universal internal similarity.
