Abstract
We propose a mechanism which produces periodic variations of the degree of predictability in dynamical systems. It is shown that even in the absence of noise when the control parameter changes periodically in time, below and above the threshold for the onset of chaos, stochastic resonance effects appear. As a result one has an alternation of chaotic and regular, i.e. predictable, evolutions in an almost periodic way, so that the Lyapunov exponent is positive but some time correlations do not decay.
