Title: Resonances within Chaos

Abstract: A chaotic system under periodic forcing can develop a periodically visited strange attractor. We discuss simple models in which the phenomenon, quite easy to see in numerical simulations, can be completely studied analytically.

Keywords: Strange attractor, dissipative chaotic systems, phase-locking, syncronization, invariant manifold
