We study a dynamical system which describes the overlap of resonances in a global integrable context and we present a new topological scenario for the reconnection of three resonance island chains in the presence of two robust tori. These tori induce this new scenario and they play the role of transport barriers which are relevant for plasma confinement in Tokamaks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
