title: Scalings of mixed-mode regimes in a simple polynomial three-variable model of nonlinear dynamical systems.
abstract: We describe scaling laws for a control parameter for various sequences of bifurcations of the LSn mixed-mode regimes consisting of single large amplitude maximum followed by n small amplitude peaks. These regimes are obtained in a normalized version of a simple three-variable polynomial model that contains only one nonlinear cubic term. The period adding bifurcations for LSn patterns scales as 1/n at low n and as 1/n2 at sufficiently large values of n. Similar scaling laws 1/k at low k and 1/k2 at sufficiently high values of k describe the period adding bifurcations for complex k(LSn)(LS(n + 1)) patterns. A finite number of basic LSn patterns and infinite sequences of complex k(LSn)(LS(n + 1)) patterns exist in the model. Each periodic pattern loses its stability by the period doubling bifurcations scaled by the Feigenbaum law. Also an infinite number of the broken Farey trees exists between complex periodic orbits. A family of 1D return maps constructed from appropriate Poincaré sections is a very fruitful tool in studies of the dynamical system. Analysis of this family of maps supports the scaling laws found using the numerical integration of the model.
