Abstract

It is suggested that chaotic dynamical systems characterized by intermittent jumps between two preferred regions of phase space display an enhanced sensitivity to weak periodic forcings through a stochastic resonance-like mechanism. This possibility is illustrated by the study of the residence time distribution in two examples of bimodal chaos: the periodically forced Duffing oscillator and a 1-dimensional map showing intermittent behavior.
