Abstract: We show that the power spectrum of a nonlinear dynamical system with more than one basin of attraction becomes 1/f in the presence of noise, provided the basin boundary be fractal. The result is numerically proved by a cellular automaton. This phenomenon resembles the random-random walk in a one-dimensional lattice, which undergoes a subdiffusive motion with the same type of spectra.
