Searching for signatures of chaos in gamma-ray light curves of selected Fermi-LAT blazars

O. Ostapenko, M. Tarnopolski, N. Żywucka +1

Blazar variability appears to be stochastic in nature. However, a possibility of low-dimensional chaos was considered in the past, but with no unambiguous detection so far. If pres…
