Experimental Verification of Noise Induced Attractor Deformation

Abstract
A periodically driven nonlinear electric resonance circuit with a ferroelectric inside the capacitance shows the recently discovered effect of noise induced attractor deformations. By exposing the system to dynamical noise we observe and quantitatively characterize the effect of attractor elongation due to perturbations at homoclinic tangencies. The analysis of the experimental observations fits perfectly with theoretical predictions.
