contents When three types of noise are introduced to the area-preserving Harper map, the Poincaré recurrence statistic (PRS) exhibits an extended tail, corresponding to an increased probability of longer recurrence times. For a deterministic case with a mixture of regular and chaotic orbits, regular islands are responsible for a power-law decay in the recurrence distribution. Noise perturbations allow trajectories to access the interior of the islands, and this can enhance their trapping effect, causing many orbits to take longer to return to a neighborhood of their initial conditions and resulting in a slower power-law decay on an intermediate time scale. On a longer time scale, however, the noisy PRS exhibits exponential decay, eventually falling below the deterministic PRS. We compare distributions of trapping and visit times to islands with recurrence times to show the importance of noise in creating tails in the PRS. A simple model of the dynamics -- a Markov chain with three states -- demonstrates how the slower decay can be caused by noise allowing entry to a previously inaccessible island.
