Chaos theory (or chaology [1]) is an interdisciplinary area of scientific study and branch of mathematics. It focuses on underlying patterns and deterministic laws of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. These were once thought to have completely random states of disorder and irregularities. [2]
In lab experiments that study chaos theory, approaches designed to control chaos are based on certain observed system behaviors. Any chaotic attractor contains an infinite number of unstable, periodic orbits. Chaotic dynamics, then, consists of a motion where the system state moves in the neighborhood of one of these orbits for a while, then ...
Chaos: Making a New Science is a debut non-fiction book by James Gleick that initially introduced the principles and early development of the chaos theory to the public. [1] It was a finalist for the National Book Award [2] and the Pulitzer Prize [3] in 1987, and was shortlisted for the Science Book Prize in 1989. [4]
The Origins of Chaos Theory. While Lorenz might be known for coining the “Butterfly Effect” in relation to chaos theory, Lin says that the discovery of chaos theory actually dates back to the ...
Randy Slack presents the 22nd annual Chaos Theory show at Legend City Studios in downtown Phoenix. Here's why it's the "freshest show in the Valley."
As a pedagogic tool, the Malkus waterwheel became a paradigmatic realization of a chaotic system, and is widely used in the teaching of chaos theory. [3] In addition to its pedagogic use, the Malkus waterwheel has been actively studied by researchers in dynamical systems and chaos. [4] [5] [6] [7]

The easy experimental implementation of the circuit, combined with the existence of a simple and accurate theoretical model, makes Chua's circuit a useful system to study many fundamental and applied issues of chaos theory. Because of this, it has been object of much study and appears widely referenced in the literature.
