  2. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    The main catalyst for the development of chaos theory was the electronic computer. Much of the mathematics of chaos theory involves the repeated iteration of simple mathematical formulas, which would be impractical to do by hand. Electronic computers made these repeated calculations practical, while figures and images made it possible to ...

  3. Double pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum

    A double pendulum consists of two pendulums attached end to end.. In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, a double pendulum, also known as a chaotic pendulum, is a pendulum with another pendulum attached to its end, forming a simple physical system that exhibits rich dynamic behavior with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions. [1]

  4. List of chaotic maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chaotic_maps

    In mathematics, a chaotic map is a map (an evolution function) that exhibits some sort of chaotic behavior.Maps may be parameterized by a discrete-time or a continuous-time parameter.

  5. Butterfly effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

    In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The term is closely associated with the work of the mathematician and meteorologist Edward Norton Lorenz.

  6. Pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum

    "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. A pendulum is a device made of a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. [1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position.

  7. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    For simple systems, there may be as few as one or two degrees of freedom. One degree of freedom occurs when one has an autonomous ordinary differential equation in a single variable, d y / d t = f ( y ) , {\displaystyle dy/dt=f(y),} with the resulting one-dimensional system being called a phase line , and the qualitative behaviour of the system ...

  9. Swinging Atwood's machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swinging_Atwood's_Machine

    The swinging Atwood's machine (SAM) is a mechanism that resembles a simple Atwood's machine except that one of the masses is allowed to swing in a two-dimensional plane, producing a dynamical system that is chaotic for some system parameters and initial conditions.
