Abstract
The dynamics of transitions between the cells of a finite-phase-space partition in a variety of systems giving rise to chaotic behavior is analyzed, with special emphasis on the statistics of recurrence times. In the case of one-dimensional piecewise Markow maps the recurrence problem is cast into a-renewal process. In the presence of intermittency, transitions between cells define a non-Markovian, non-renewal process reflected in the presence of power-law probability distributions and of divergent variances and mean values.
