Critical properties of phase transitions in lattices of coupled logistic maps

We numerically demonstrate that collective bifurcations in two-dimensional lattices of locally coupled logistic maps share most of the defining features of equilibrium second-order phase transitions. Our simulations suggest that these transitions between distinct collective dynamical regimes belong to the universality class of Miller and Huse model with synchronous update [Marcq et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 (1996), 4003].
