Chaos in an intermittently driven damped oscillator

We observe chaotic dynamics in a damped linear oscillator, which is driven only at certain regions of phase space. Both deterministic and random drives are studied. The dynamics is characterized using standard techniques of nonlinear dynamics. Interchanging roles of determinism and stochasticity is...

Summary:We observe chaotic dynamics in a damped linear oscillator, which is driven only at certain regions of phase space. Both deterministic and random drives are studied. The dynamics is characterized using standard techniques of nonlinear dynamics. Interchanging roles of determinism and stochasticity is also considered.
