  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. [1]

  3. 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.

  4. Malkus waterwheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malkus_waterwheel

    As a pedagogic tool, the Malkus waterwheel became a paradigmatic realization of a chaotic system, and is widely used in the teaching of chaos theory. [3] In addition to its pedagogic use, the Malkus waterwheel has been actively studied by researchers in dynamical systems and chaos. [4] [5] [6] [7]

  5. 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.

  6. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    In 2017, Shijun Liao and Xiaoming Li applied a new strategy of numerical simulation for chaotic systems called the clean numerical simulation (CNS), with the use of a national supercomputer, to successfully gain 695 families of periodic solutions of the three-body system with equal mass.

  7. Duffing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    chaos at = period-2 oscillation at γ = 0.65 {\displaystyle \gamma =0.65} Some typical examples of the time series and phase portraits of the Duffing equation, showing the appearance of subharmonics through period-doubling bifurcation – as well chaotic behavior – are shown in the figures below.

  8. Swinging Atwood's machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swinging_Atwood's_Machine

    Since the system is invariant under time reversal and translation, it is equivalent to say that the pendulum starts at the origin and is fired outwards: [1] r ( 0 ) = 0 {\displaystyle r(0)=0} The region close to the pivot is singular, since r {\displaystyle r} is close to zero and the equations of motion require dividing by r {\displaystyle r} .

  9. Coupled map lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupled_map_lattice

    A coupled map lattice (CML) is a dynamical system that models the behavior of nonlinear systems (especially partial differential equations).They are predominantly used to qualitatively study the chaotic dynamics of spatially extended systems.
