Abstract
We study the new scaling exponents associated with the series of transitions corresponding to breakup of a Kol’ogorov-Arnol’d-Moser torus in a standard-type map. This map models a variety of transitions in incommensurate systems such as metal-insulator or pinning-depinning transitions. Our study provides evidences for the global scaling in addition to the local scaling properties of the fractal phase diagram.Keywords
