These figures — made using ρ = 28, σ = 10 and β = 8 / 3 — show three time segments of the 3-D evolution of two trajectories (one in blue, the other in yellow) in the Lorenz attractor starting at two initial points that differ only by 10 −5 in the x-coordinate. Initially, the two trajectories seem coincident (only the yellow one ...
The Lorenz attractor is a 3-dimensional structure corresponding to the long-term behavior of a chaotic flow, noted for its butterfly shape. The map shows how the state of a dynamical system (the three variables of a three-dimensional system) evolves over time in a complex, non-repeating pattern.
The Lorenz attractor arises in the study of the Lorenz oscillator, a dynamical system.. In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space, such as in a parametric curve.
A plot of Lorenz' strange attractor for values ρ=28, σ = 10, β = 8/3. The butterfly effect or sensitive dependence on initial conditions is the property of a dynamical system that, starting from any of various arbitrarily close alternative initial conditions on the attractor, the iterated points will become arbitrarily spread out from each other.
The critical attractor. An attractor is a term used to refer to a region that has the property of attracting surrounding orbits, and is the orbit that is eventually drawn into and continues. The attractive fixed points and periodic points mentioned above are also members of the attractor family.
In the Lorenz system, for classical parameters, the attractor is self-excited with respect to all existing equilibria, and can be visualized by any trajectory from their vicinities; however, for some other parameter values there are two trivial attractors coexisting with a chaotic attractor, which is a self-excited one with respect to the zero ...
As I understand it from my math undergrad days, this is the Lorenz attractor. Debivort 03:13, 27 December 2005 (UTC) Veledan, read the attractor article first. If you understand the concept of attractor, it shouldn't be hard to understand main surprise of Lorenz attractor, and meaning of the picture. It's not esotheric at all, its simply kind ...
Visual representation of a strange attractor. [1] Another visualization of the same 3D attractor is this video.Code capable of rendering this is available.. In the mathematical field of dynamical systems, an attractor is a set of states toward which a system tends to evolve, [2] for a wide variety of starting conditions of the system.
