Summary

The circle map is a chaotic map showing a number of interesting chaotic behaviors.

This figure shows the average Poincaré recurrence time for the iterated circle map modulo 1. The circle map is given by iterating on the map

${\displaystyle \theta _{n+1}=\theta _{n}+\Omega -{\frac {K}{2\pi }}\sin(2\pi \theta _{n})}$

Given a fixed value of K , Ω, ${\displaystyle \theta _{n}}$ and ε, the recurrence time N is given by the smallest integer N such that

${\displaystyle |(\theta _{n+N}-\theta _{n})|<\epsilon \!}$

is satisfied. This figure shows the average values of N for a variety of random starting values ${\displaystyle \theta _{n}}$ , and an ε = 0.0001. Black indicates values of N of less than about 10, blue values of about 50, green shows values of about 140 and red shows values greater than 250.

The frequency Ω runs from 0 to 1 along the horizontal axis, and the coupling constant K runs from 0 at the bottom to 4π at the top of the image. The upper limit of the red area at the bottom occurs at K =1.
