Torus destruction and chaos-chaos intermittency in a commodity distribution chain. (English) Zbl 0904.90094

Summary: The destruction of two-dimensional tori \(T^2\) and the transitions to chaos are studied numerically in a high-dimensional model describing the decision making behavior of human subjects in a simulated managerial environment (the beer production-distribution model). Two different routes from quasiperiodicity to chaos can be distinguished. Intermittency transitions between chaotic and hyperchaotic attractors are characterized, and transients in which the “system pursues the ghost” of a vanished hyperchaotic attractor are studied.
