In the theory of
dynamical systems In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a Function (mathematics), function describes the time dependence of a Point (geometry), point in an ambient space, such as in a parametric curve. Examples include the mathematical models ...

and Paul Manneville. The aforementioned scenario is realized using the Pomeau–Manneville map. The Pomeau–Manneville map is a polynomial mapping (equivalently, recurrence relation), often referred to as an archetypal example of how complex, chaotic behaviour can arise from very simple nonlinear dynamical equations. Unlike other maps, the Pomeau–Manneville map exhibits

, characterized by periods of low and high amplitude fluctuations. Recent research suggests that this bursting behavior might lead to anomalous diffusion.
