In this paper we calculate the critical scaling exponents describing the variation of both the positive Lyapunov exponent, λ +, and the mean residence time, $\langle$ τ $\rangle$ , near the second order phase transition critical point for dynamical systems experiencing crisis-induced intermittency. We study in detail 2-dimensional 2-parameter nonlinear quadratic mappings of the form: X n+1 = f 1(X n , Y n ; A, B) and Y n+1 = f 2(X n , Y n ; A, B) which contain in their parameter space (A, B) a region where there is crisis-induced intermittent behaviour. Specifically, the Henon, the Mira 1, and Mira 2 maps are investigated in the vicinity of the crises. We show that near a critical point the following scaling relations hold: $\langle$ τ $\rangle$ ~ |A – A c |-γ , (λ + – λ c +) ~ |A – A c |βA and (λ + – λ c +) ~ |B – B c |βB. The subscript c on a quantity denotes its value at the critical point. All these maps exhibit a chaos to chaos second order phase transition across the critical point. We find these scaling exponents satisfy the scaling relation γ = β B ( $\frac{1}{\beta_{A}}$ – 1), which is analogous to Widom’s scaling law. We find strong agreement between the scaling relationship and numerical results.
