TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that the moment of the stochastic variable scales as a function of the additive noise strength, and the mechanism for this power-law behavior of moments is shown to be universal.
Abstract: It is well known that a random multiplicative process with weak additive noise generates a power-law probability distribution. It has recently been recognized that this process exhibits another type of power law: the moment of the stochastic variable scales as a function of the additive noise strength. We clarify the mechanism for this power-law behavior of moments by treating a simple Langevin-type model both approximately and exactly, and argue this mechanism is universal. We also discuss the relevance of our findings to noisy on-off intermittency and to singular spatio-temporal chaos recently observed in systems of non-locally coupled elements.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-component reaction-diffusion model is proposed as the first example to exhibit chemical turbulence with multiaffine fractal structures, the underlying mechanism being the same as for similar turbulence discovered recently in some non-locally coupled oscillator systems.
Abstract: A three-component reaction-diffusion model is proposed as the first example to exhibit chemical turbulence with multiaffine fractal structures, the underlying mechanism being the same as for similar turbulence discovered recently in some nonlocally coupled oscillator systems. The role played by the strongly diffusive component can be substituted by a long-wave random force, and this idea leads to our proposal of the second, far simpler reaction-diffusion model given by the randomly driven FitzHugh-Nagumo nerve conduction equation.
