Abstract

Maxima of mean transient time versus driving amplitude were found for weakly dissipated Duffing oscillator. In the neighborhood of peak of mean transient time an approximate power-law dependence was found. This behavior was compared with scaling in the vicinity of crisis point and interpreted as crossing of two neighboring crisis points which appears with decrease of driving amplitude. At this point chaotic attractor was destroyed and chaotic transient, exhibiting a maximum in the lifetime was borned. It was shown that the peak of mean lifetime has a regular behavior described by quadratic function.
