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 .
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 ...
Burke-Shaw chaotic attractor [8] continuous: real: 3: 2: Chen chaotic attractor [9] continuous: real: 3: 3: Not topologically conjugate to the Lorenz attractor. Chen-Celikovsky system [10] continuous: real: 3 "Generalized Lorenz canonical form of chaotic systems" Chen-LU system [11] continuous: real: 3: 3: Interpolates between Lorenz-like and ...
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 ...
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.
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. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum , the flow of water in a pipe , the random motion of particles in the air , and the number of fish ...
As I understand it from my math undergrad days, this is the Lorenz attractor. Debivort 03:13, 27 December 2005 (UTC) Veledan, read the attractor article first. If you understand the concept of attractor, it shouldn't be hard to understand main surprise of Lorenz attractor, and meaning of the picture. It's not esotheric at all, its simply kind ...
