title: Stochastic spatiotemporal intermittency and noise-induced transition to an absorbing phase
abstract: We introduce a stochastic partial differential equation capable of reproducing the main features of spatiotemporal intermittency (STI). The model also displays a noise-induced transition from STI to laminarity as the noise intensity increases. Simulations and mean-field analysis are used to characterize this transition and to give a quantitative prescription of its loci in the relevant parameter space.
