  2. Lorenz system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system

    The Lorenz attractor is difficult to analyze, but the action of the differential equation on the attractor is described by a fairly simple geometric model. [24] Proving that this is indeed the case is the fourteenth problem on the list of Smale's problems .

  3. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Lorenz equations used to generate plots for the y variable. The initial conditions for x and z were kept the same but those for y were changed between 1.001, 1.0001 and 1.00001. The values for , and were 45.91, 16 and 4 respectively. As can be seen from the graph, even the slightest difference in initial values causes significant changes after ...

  5. Dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_system

    The Lorenz attractor arises in the study of the Lorenz oscillator, a dynamical system.. In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space, such as in a parametric curve.

    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 ...

  8. Attractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor

    Visual representation of a strange attractor. [1] Another visualization of the same 3D attractor is this video.Code capable of rendering this is available.. In the mathematical field of dynamical systems, an attractor is a set of states toward which a system tends to evolve, [2] for a wide variety of starting conditions of the system.

  9. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    In physics, specifically classical mechanics, the three-body problem is to take the initial positions and velocities (or momenta) of three point masses that orbit each other in space and calculate their subsequent trajectories using Newton's laws of motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation.
