Two methods of their characterization are proposed. The first one is based on the bifurcation analysis of the systems, resulting from periodic approximations of the quasiperiodic forcing. Secondly, we propose th characterize their strangeness by calculating a phase sensitivity exponent, that measures the sensitivity with respect to changes of the phase of the external force. It is shown, that phase sensitivity appears if there is a non-zero probability for positive local Lyapunov exponents to occur.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{KurthsPikovskijScheffczyk1994, author = {Kurths, J{\"u}rgen and Pikovskij, Arkadij and Scheffczyk, Christian}, title = {Roughening interfaces in deterministic dynamics}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-13447}, year = {1994}, abstract = {Two deterministic processes leading to roughening interfaces are considered. It is shown that the dynamics of linear perturbations of turbulent regimes in coupled map lattices is governed by a discrete version of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. The asymptotic scaling behavior of the perturbation field is investigated in the case of large lattices. Secondly, the dynamics of an order-disorder interface is modelled with a simple two-dimensional coupled map lattice, possesing a turbulent and a laminar state. It is demonstrated, that in some range of parameters the spreading of the turbulent state is accompanied by kinetic roughening of the interface.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{PikovskijZaksFeudeletal.1995, author = {Pikovskij, Arkadij and Zaks, Michael A. and Feudel, Ulrike and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Singular continuous spectra in dissipative dynamics}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-13787}, year = {1995}, abstract = {We demonstrate the occurrence of regimes with singular continuous (fractal) Fourier spectra in autonomous dissipative dynamical systems. The particular example in an ODE system at the accumulation points of bifurcation sequences associated to the creation of complicated homoclinic orbits. Two different machanisms responsible for the appearance of such spectra are proposed. In the first case when the geometry of the attractor is symbolically represented by the Thue-Morse sequence, both the continuous-time process and its descrete Poincar{\´e} map have singular power spectra. The other mechanism owes to the logarithmic divergence of the first return times near the saddle point; here the Poincar{\´e} map possesses the discrete spectrum, while the continuous-time process displays the singular one. A method is presented for computing the multifractal characteristics of the singular continuous spectra with the help of the usual Fourier analysis technique.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Pikovskij2015, author = {Pikovskij, Arkadij}, title = {Comment on "Asymptotic Phase for Stochastic Oscillators"}, series = {Physical review letters}, volume = {115}, journal = {Physical review letters}, number = {6}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, address = {College Park}, issn = {0031-9007}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.069401}, pages = {1}, year = {2015}, language = {en} }
