Origin of Lorentzian pulses in deterministic chaos
1Physics and Astronomy Department, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA.
Abstract:
Pulses having a temporal Lorentzian shape arise naturally from topological changes in flow trajectories or phase-space orbits associated with deterministic chaos. The pulses can appear as random intermittent events in the time series of observable quantities, and they are the cause of exponential frequency power spectra previously observed in magnetically confined plasmas and various nonlinear systems.
