Poincaré Plots?
Now that we know there are trapping regions of the cusp, e.g. periodic orbits, we can display those orbits with a Poincaré section. Then we can potentially demonstrate the invariant tori and chaotic orbits.
Unfortunately, I only realized the advantage of this approach after plotting 4000 trajectories T<drift-time and visually classifying them as “untrapped”, “trapped periodic”, and “trapped chaotic”. (Using 4 CPU weeks on dual AMD 1.8GHz)
So the Poincaré plot (many drift orbits) will have to wait for CPU time.
