ABSTRACT
Intermittency is a particular route to the deterministic chaos characterized by spontaneous transitions between laminar and chaotic dynamics. For the first time, this concept has been introduced by Pomeau and Maneville in the context of the Lorenz system [1,2]. Later, intermittency has been found in a variety of different systems, including, for example, periodically forced nonlinear oscillators, Rayleigh–Bénard convection, derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation, and development of turbulence in hydrodynamics (see, e.g., References 3–7).
