  2. Duffing map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_map

    Plot of the Duffing map showing chaotic behavior, where a = 2.75 and b = 0.15. Phase portrait of a two-well Duffing oscillator (a differential equation, rather than a map) showing chaotic behavior. The Duffing map (also called as 'Holmes map') is a discrete-time dynamical system. It is an example of a dynamical system that exhibits chaotic behavior

  3. Duffing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffing_equation

    The number of parameters in the Duffing equation can be reduced by two through scaling (in accord with the Buckingham π theorem), e.g. the excursion and time can be scaled as: [2] = and = /, assuming is positive (other scalings are possible for different ranges of the parameters, or for different emphasis in the problem studied).

  4. Phase portrait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_portrait

    In mathematics, a phase portrait is a geometric representation of the orbits of a dynamical system in the phase plane. Each set of initial conditions is represented by a different point or curve. Phase portraits are an invaluable tool in studying dynamical systems. They consist of a plot of typical trajectories in the phase space.

  5. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    In mathematics, a phase portrait is a geometric representation of the orbits of a dynamical system in the phase plane. Each set of initial conditions is represented by a different point or curve. Phase portraits are an invaluable tool in studying dynamical systems. They consist of a plot of typical trajectories in

  6. Phase plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_plane

    In applied mathematics, in particular the context of nonlinear system analysis, a phase plane is a visual display of certain characteristics of certain kinds of differential equations; a coordinate plane with axes being the values of the two state variables, say (x, y), or (q, p) etc. (any pair of variables).

  7. Poincaré map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_map

    A two-dimensional Poincaré section of the forced Duffing equation. In mathematics, particularly in dynamical systems, a first recurrence map or Poincaré map, named after Henri Poincaré, is the intersection of a periodic orbit in the state space of a continuous dynamical system with a certain lower-dimensional subspace, called the Poincaré section, transversal to the flow of the system.

  8. Bifurcation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_theory

    Phase portrait showing saddle-node bifurcation. Bifurcation theory is the mathematical study of changes in the qualitative or topological structure of a given family of curves, such as the integral curves of a family of vector fields, and the solutions of a family of differential equations.

  9. Heteroclinic orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroclinic_orbit

    In mathematics, in the phase portrait of a dynamical system, a heteroclinic orbit (sometimes called a heteroclinic connection) is a path in phase space which joins two different equilibrium points. If the equilibrium points at the start and end of the orbit are the same, the orbit is a homoclinic orbit.
