The double-rod pendulum is one of the simplest dynamical systems with chaotic solutions. 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.
Devaney is known for formulating a simple and widely used definition of chaotic systems, one that does not need advanced concepts such as measure theory. [8] In his 1989 book An Introduction to Chaotic Dynamical Systems, Devaney defined a system to be chaotic if it has sensitive dependence on initial conditions, it is topologically transitive (for any two open sets, some points from one set ...
The system becomes more chaotic as dynamical symmetries are broken by increasing the quantum defect; consequently, the distribution evolves from nearly a Poisson distribution (a) to that of Wigner's surmise (h). Statistical measures of quantum chaos were born out of a desire to quantify spectral features of complex systems.
Dynamical systems theory and chaos theory deal with the long-term qualitative behavior of dynamical systems.Here, the focus is not on finding precise solutions to the equations defining the dynamical system (which is often hopeless), but rather to answer questions like "Will the system settle down to a steady state in the long term, and if so, what are the possible steady states?", or "Does ...
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.
A coupled map lattice (CML) is a dynamical system that models the behavior of nonlinear systems (especially partial differential equations).They are predominantly used to qualitatively study the chaotic dynamics of spatially extended systems.
Chaotic maps often occur in the study of dynamical systems. Chaotic maps and iterated functions often generate fractals . Some fractals are studied as objects themselves, as sets rather than in terms of the maps that generate them.
