Abstract

The activation dynamics of one-dimensional maps is considered. It is shown that the activation law describing the average time required for attaining a given boundary has the form of the error function (erfc), whereas approximation using the exponential law gives much worse results. In addition, it is demonstrated that linear analysis can be applied to a substantially nonlinear problem.
