PERIOD DOUBLING BIFURCATIONS AND NOISE EXCITATION EFFECTS IN A MULTISTABLE SELF-SUSTAINED OSCILLATORY MEDIUM

The model of a self-oscillatory medium composed from the elements with complex self-oscillatory behavior is studied. Under periodic boundary conditions the stable self-oscillatory regimes in the form of traveling waves with different phase shifts are coexisted in medium. The study of mechanisms of the oscillations period doubling in time is performed for different coexisted modes. For all observed spatially-non-uniform regimes (traveling waves) the period doubling occurs through the appearance of time-quasiperiodic oscillations and their further evolution.
