Noise-induced fluctuations of period lengths of stable periodic orbits.
We discuss a class of one-dimensional maps, which possesses a globally attracting stable periodic orbit. Despite a strongly negative Lyapunov exponent, a small amount of noise can introduce fluctuations of the period length. It is shown that this is a reasonable model for the observed dynamics of a bubble formation experiment in a heated capillary embedded in boiling water.
