Abstract
The aperiodic or chaotic behavior for one-dimensional maps just before a tangent bifurcation occurs appears as intermittency in which long laminarlike regions irregularly separated by bursts occur. Proceeding from the picture proposed by Pomeau and Manneville, numerical experiments and analytic calculations are carried out on various models exhibiting this behavior. The behavior in the presence of external noise is analyzed, and the case of a general power dependence of the curve near the tangent bifurcation is studied. Scaling relations for the average length of the laminar regions and deviations from scaling are determined. In addition, the probability distribution of path lengths, the stationary distribution of the maps, the correlation function and power spectrum of the map in the intermittent region, and the Lyapunov exponent are obtained.
