Period-doubling bifurcations in the presence of colored noise

Abstract
We study the effects of colored noise on period-doubling bifurcations. Using the Feigenbaum map as a model, the technique of cumulant equations is applied to analyze the bifurcation behavior. We find that the universal properties of the period-doubling sequences are preserved in the case of colored noise. Moreover, the resonancelike response of the period-doubling cascade to the colored noise forcing is observed, while the noise correlation time is varied. This response is reflected in both power spectra and bifurcation diagrams.
