  2. 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.

  4. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Starting the pendulum from a slightly different initial condition would result in a vastly different trajectory. 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.

  5. Generalized coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_coordinates

    An example of a generalized coordinate would be to describe the position of a pendulum using the angle of the pendulum relative to vertical, rather than by the x and y position of the pendulum. Although there may be many possible choices for generalized coordinates for a physical system, they are generally selected to simplify calculations ...

  6. Hénon map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hénon_map

    Orbit diagram for the Hénon map with b=0.3.Higher density (darker) indicates increased probability of the variable x acquiring that value for the given value of a.Notice the satellite regions of chaos and periodicity around a=1.075-- these can arise depending upon initial conditions for x and y.

  7. Gingerbreadman map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingerbreadman_map

    Gingerbreadman map for subset , [,]: the color of each point is related to the relative orbit period.To view the gingerbread man, you must rotate the image 135 degrees clockwise.

  8. Feigenbaum constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feigenbaum_constants

    To see how this number arises, consider the real one-parameter map =.Here a is the bifurcation parameter, x is the variable. The values of a for which the period doubles (e.g. the largest value for a with no period-2 orbit, or the largest a with no period-4 orbit), are a 1, a 2 etc.

  9. Stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_theory

    The simplest kind of an orbit is a fixed point, or an equilibrium. If a mechanical system is in a stable equilibrium state then a small push will result in a localized motion, for example, small oscillations as in the case of a pendulum. In a system with damping, a stable equilibrium state is moreover asymptotically stable. On the other hand ...
