Popis: We show a scenario of a two-frequency torus breakdown, in which a global bifurcation occurs due to the collision of a quasi-periodic torus T 2 with saddle points, creating a heteroclinic saddle connection. We analyze the geometry of this torus-saddle collision by showing the local dynamics and the invariant manifolds (global dynamics) of the saddle points. Moreover, we present detailed evidences of a heteroclinic saddle-focus orbit responsible for the type-II intermittency induced by this global bifurcation. We also characterize this transition to chaos by measuring the Lyapunov exponents and the scaling laws. � 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
