Stochastic Web Map: Survival probability and escape frequency

Chaotic Dynamics 2026-03-24 v1

Abstract

We study transport and escape in the Stochastic Web Map (SWM), an area-preserving system with phase-space structure controlled by a symmetry parameter qq and nonlinearity KK. By analyzing the survival probability PS(n)P_{\text{S}}(n) and escape frequency PE(lnn)P_{\text{E}}(\ln n), we show that in the chaotic regime escape dynamics is governed by a single time scale ntypK2h2n_{\text{typ}}\propto K^{-2}h^{2}; here hh is the size of the escape horizon. Deviations at large KK and small hh indicate a breakdown of the quasilinear approximation. Then, upon rescaling the time by ntypn_{\text{typ}}, escape statistics becomes universal, independent of qq. These results demonstrate that escape is controlled by global transport rather than symmetry.
