Type-V intermittency from Markov binary block visibility graph perspective

Abstract

In this work, type-V intermittency is studied from Markov binary block visibility graphs perspective. We considered a piecewise quadratic Poincare map that is a simple model to exhibit this type of intermittency. The mechanism of type-V intermittency is collision of a stable fixed point with a point of discontinuity of the Poincare map. We study the behavior of a dynamical system in the vicinity of the discontinuous or non-differentiable points (NDP) using networks language. Numerical results showed that there is a logarithmic scaling law logε for the average laminar length of the type-V intermittency. We also described their properties based on statistical tools such as the length between reinjection points and the average laminar length. For further investigation, we verified the degree distribution of the complex network generated by type-V intermittency time series and finally, predicted the behavior of type-V intermittency by the proposed theoretical degree distributions.
