  2. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Chaos theory has been used for many years in cryptography. In the past few decades, chaos and nonlinear dynamics have been used in the design of hundreds of cryptographic primitives. These algorithms include image encryption algorithms, hash functions, secure pseudo-random number generators, stream ciphers, watermarking, and steganography. [123]

  3. Chaotic hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaotic_hysteresis

    A nonlinear dynamical system exhibits chaotic hysteresis if it simultaneously exhibits chaotic dynamics (chaos theory) and hysteresis.As the latter involves the persistence of a state, such as magnetization, after the causal or exogenous force or factor is removed, it involves multiple equilibria for given sets of control conditions.

  4. Nonlinear system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_system

    In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system (or a non-linear system) is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. [1] [2] Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, [3] [4] [5] physicists, [6] [7] mathematicians, and many other scientists since most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. [8]

  5. Dynamical systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory

    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 ...

  6. Melnikov distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melnikov_distance

    The Melnikov method is used in many cases to predict the occurrence of chaotic orbits in non-autonomous smooth nonlinear systems under periodic perturbation. According to the method, it is possible to construct a function called the "Melnikov function" which can be used to predict either regular or chaotic behavior of a dynamical system.

  7. Crisis (dynamical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_(dynamical_systems)

    Bifurcations and crises in the Ikeda map.. In applied mathematics and astrodynamics, in the theory of dynamical systems, a crisis is the sudden appearance or disappearance of a strange attractor as the parameters of a dynamical system are varied.

  8. Normal form (dynamical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_form_(dynamical...

    In mathematics, the normal form of a dynamical system is a simplified form that can be useful in determining the system's behavior.. Normal forms are often used for determining local bifurcations in a system.
