Abstract: An AC driven, noiseless, underdamped Brownian particle moving on an asymmetric periodic substrate provides an interesting example of deterministic ratchet: In theadiabaticregime periodic and chaotic trajectories coexist on fine tuning the amplitude of the input signal; the transition from regular to chaotic transport happens through an intermediate class of trajectories exhibitingconfined chaos.
