Effect of noise on the dynamics of a complex map at the period-tripling accumulation point

As shown recently [O.B. Isaeva et al., Phys. Rev. E 64, 055201 (2001)], the phenomena intrinsic to dynamics of complex analytic maps under appropriate conditions may occur in physical systems. We study scaling regularities associated with the effect of additive noise upon the period-tripling bifurcation cascade generalizing the renormalization group approach of Crutchfield et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 46, 933 (1981)] and Shraiman et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 46, 935 (1981)], originally developed for the period doubling transition to chaos in the presence of noise. The universal constant determining the rescaling rule for the intensity of the noise in period tripling is found to be gamma=12.206 640 9 em leader. Numerical evidence of the expected scaling is demonstrated.
