Critical properties of phase transitions in lattices of coupled logistic maps

http://ptp.ipap.jp/link?PTPS/161/244/International audienceWe numerically demonstrate that collective bifurcations in two-dimensional lattices of locally coupled logistic maps share most of the defining features of equilibrium second-order phase transitions. Our simulations suggest that these transitions between distinct collective dynamical regimes belong to the universality class of Miller and Huse model with synchronous update
