Abstract

Extended linear arrays of interacting Josephson weak links are studied by numerical simulation using the resistively shunted junction model. The minimum coupling strength for chaotic behavior is determined as a function of the number of links. This strength is found to diminish steadily with increasing number, despite the inclusion of only nearest-neighbor interaction. The implications for Josephson technology are briefly discussed. Mathematically, the results are a confirmation of the Ruelle-Takens scenario for chaos.
