Abstract
The transition from a mode-locked torus to a chaotic fractal attractor via the generic saddle-node bifurcation is considered. Although superficially the transition seems to be one of the known types of intermittency, it is shown to be in fact discontinuous. All the invariants that characterize chaos show a distinct jump. It is also argued that the power spectra are not sensitive to the discontinuous nature of the transition.
