Abstract
The appearance of devil’s staircase and chaos have been studied in the dc+ac driven Frenkel-Kontorova model. In the overdamped limit, the devil’s staircase structure arising from the complete mode-locking of an entirely nonchaotic system was observed. Even though no chaos was found, a hierarchical ordering of the Shapiro steps was made possible through the use of a previously introduced continued fraction formula. When the inertial term is included, unlike in the overdamped case, the increase of mass led to the appearance of the whole series of subharmonic steps in the staircase of the average velocity as a function of average driving force in any commensurate structure. At certain values of parameters, the subharmonic steps became separated by chaotic windows while the whole structure retained scaling similar to the original staircase.
