12. This transition was already implied by P. Bocchieri, A. Scotti, B. Bearzi, and A. Loinger, Phys. Rev. A 2, 2013 (1970). The authors interpreted their results as a transition from regular to chaotic motion and not as a transition from weak to strong chaos, because at that time computers did not permit sufficiently long and accurate measurements of very small Lyapunov exponents, necessary to detect the existence of a weakly chaotic regime.
