Description

Anomalous transport is investigated for the standard map. A chain of exact self-similar islands in the vicinity of the period 5 accelerator island is found for a particular value of the map parameter. The transport is found to be superdiffusive with an anomalous exponent related to the characteristic temporal and spatial scaling parameters of the island chain. The value of the transport exponent is compared to the theory. The escape time distribution and Poincaracute e recurrence distribution are found to have powerlike tails and the corresponding exponents are obtained and compared to the theory. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
