  2. Dynamical systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory

    From a physical point of view, continuous dynamical systems is a generalization of classical mechanics, a generalization where the equations of motion are postulated directly and are not constrained to be Euler–Lagrange equations of a least action principle. When difference equations are employed, the theory is called discrete dynamical systems.

  3. Sharkovskii's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharkovskii's_theorem

    Sharkovskii's theorem does not immediately apply to dynamical systems on other topological spaces. It is easy to find a circle map with periodic points of period 3 only: take a rotation by 120 degrees, for example. But some generalizations are possible, typically involving the mapping class group of the space minus a periodic orbit.

  4. Orbit (dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_(dynamics)

    In mathematics, specifically in the study of dynamical systems, an orbit is a collection of points related by the evolution function of the dynamical system. It can be understood as the subset of phase space covered by the trajectory of the dynamical system under a particular set of initial conditions, as the system evolves.

  5. Dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_system

    A discrete dynamical system, discrete-time dynamical system is a tuple (T, M, Φ), where M is a manifold locally diffeomorphic to a Banach space, and Φ is a function. When T is taken to be the integers, it is a cascade or a map. If T is restricted to the non-negative integers we call the system a semi-cascade. [14]

  6. Conley's fundamental theorem of dynamical systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conley's_fundamental...

    Conley's decomposition is characterized by a function known as complete Lyapunov function. Unlike traditional Lyapunov functions that are used to assert the stability of an equilibrium point (or a fixed point) and can be defined only on the basin of attraction of the corresponding attractor, complete Lyapunov functions must be defined on the whole phase-portrait.

  7. List of chaotic maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chaotic_maps

    Maps may be parameterized by a discrete-time or a continuous-time parameter. Discrete maps usually take the form of iterated functions . Chaotic maps often occur in the study of dynamical systems .

  8. Homoclinic orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoclinic_orbit

    We also have the notion of homoclinic orbit when considering discrete dynamical systems. In such a case, if f : M → M {\displaystyle f:M\rightarrow M} is a diffeomorphism of a manifold M {\displaystyle M} , we say that x {\displaystyle x} is a homoclinic point if it has the same past and future - more specifically, if there exists a fixed (or ...

  9. Discrete event dynamic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_event_dynamic_system

    In control engineering, a discrete-event dynamic system (DEDS) is a discrete-state, event-driven system of which the state evolution depends entirely on the occurrence of asynchronous discrete events over time.
