Behavior of such whiskers is the main ob ject to investigate in the following sections 3 and 4.
Random Wandering Around Homoclinic-like Manifolds in Symplectic Map Chain
In this section, we analyze the modulational instability of spatially uniform oscillating solutions (tori) of the reduced maps derived in the previous section and introduce whiskered tori, that is, the hyperbolic structure near periodic manifolds.
Random Wandering Around Homoclinic-like Manifolds in Symplectic Map Chain
We observe that whiskers retain a homoclinic-like structure in the case the amplitude of the uniformly oscillating solution exceeds slightly the critical value.
Random Wandering Around Homoclinic-like Manifolds in Symplectic Map Chain
As P ≤ N , this could only happen if N ≈ M , in thin whiskers with diameter of order √M much smaller than the length N .
