Phys. Rev.

Numerical calculation for the time evolutions of the chaotic probability density demonstrates the analytical result and exhibits the nonphysical implosions and ultimate unboundedness. A method for controlling the implosions and unboundedness is proposed through adjustment of the initial conditions that leads the probability density to periodically oscillate. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
