  2. Lorenz system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system

    In particular, the Lorenz attractor is a set of chaotic solutions of the Lorenz system. The term " butterfly effect " in popular media may stem from the real-world implications of the Lorenz attractor, namely that tiny changes in initial conditions evolve to completely different trajectories .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Mathematics/...

    The Lorenz attractor is an iconic example of a strange attractor in chaos theory.This three-dimensional fractal structure, resembling a butterfly or figure eight, reflects the long-term behavior of solutions to the Lorenz system, a set of three differential equations used by mathematician and meteorologist Edward N. Lorenz as a simple description of fluid circulation in a shallow layer (of ...

    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.

  6. Dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_system

    There, as in other natural sciences and engineering disciplines, the evolution rule of dynamical systems is an implicit relation that gives the state of the system for only a short time into the future. (The relation is either a differential equation, difference equation or other time scale.) To determine the state for all future times requires ...

  7. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    This attractor results from a simple three-dimensional model of the Lorenz weather system. The Lorenz attractor is perhaps one of the best-known chaotic system diagrams, probably because it is not only one of the first, but it is also one of the most complex, and as such gives rise to a very interesting pattern that, with a little imagination ...

  8. Butterfly effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

    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.

  9. Rössler attractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rössler_attractor

    This attractor has some similarities to the Lorenz attractor, but is simpler and has only one manifold. Otto Rössler designed the Rössler attractor in 1976, [1] but the originally theoretical equations were later found to be useful in modeling equilibrium in chemical reactions.
