	Attractor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dynamical systems are often described in terms of differential equations.
		Dynamical systems that come from applications tend to be dissipative: if it were not for some driving force the motion would cease.
		A fixed point is a point that a system evolves towards, such as the final states of a falling pebble, a damped pendulum, or the water in a glass.

	Chaos theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the characteristics of chaotic systems, described below, is sensitivity to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect).
		Systems that exhibit mathematical chaos are deterministic and thus orderly in some sense; this technical use of the word chaos is at odds with common parlance, which suggests complete disorder.
		The Lorenz attractor is perhaps one of the best-known chaotic system diagrams, probably because not only was it one of the first, but it is one of the most complex and as such gives rise to a very interesting pattern which looks like the wings of a butterfly.

	Dynamical Systems
		A dynamical system consists of an abstract phase space or state space, whose coordinates describe the dynamical state at any instant; and a dynamical rule which specifies the immediate future trend of all state variables, given only the present values of those same state variables.
		Dynamical systems are "deterministic" if there is a unique consequent to every state, and "stochastic" or "random" if there is more than one consequent chosen from some probability distribution.
		Nonlinear dynamical systems have been shown to exhibit surprising and complex effects that would never be anticipated by a scientist trained only in linear techniques.

	MC451 Dynamical Systems
		The study of nonlinear dynamical systems requires basic knowledge of several branches of mathematics: calculus (MC126), ordinary differential equations (MC127), linear algebra (MC147, MC241), vector calculus (MC224).
		The subject of dynamical systems is truly interdisciplinary, and its concepts and methods are currently used in all fields of science, such as physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, physiology, economics, and sociology.
		Therefore, the knowledge of the properties of nonlinear dynamical systems becomes essential for further progress in almost every branch of science and technology.

	MA303: Chaos in Dynamical Systems
		A dynamical system (more precisely, a discrete time dynamical system) is a way of modelling phenomena where the same law of nature acts in each period on the state of the system.
		In general a dynamical system is simply a map T: X -> X, where T encodes the law of nature and X represents the set of all possible states of the system.

	DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND CHAOS
		Deterministic, chaotic dynamical systems, when followed through time, have the potential to produce sequences of data that not only appear random but that also rigorously qualify as random from some points of view.
		This paper takes a look at the notion that chaos is equivalent to paths of a dynamical system separating at an exponential rate.
		We often prefer to model a system as having a modest stochastic component as well as a driving deterministic component.

	Dynamical Systems and Chaos
		This course is designed to introduce students from a variety of mathematical, scientific and engineering backgrounds to some of the fundamental notions of nonlinear dynamics.
		We will concentrate on the simplest dynamical systems which can exhibit so-called chaotic behaviour -- the discrete dynamical systems which arise from iterations of real or complex valued functions.
		The perspective taken in dynamical systems is to attempt to understand the qualitative behaviour of a whole system or classes of systems rather than writing down particular explicit solutions.

	Introduction
		it is also useful for the person who knows something about chaotic dynamical systems but wishes to see clearly what the effects of numerical simulation of such a system are.
		This paper is not purely introductory, however: there are new dynamical systems results presented here and also in the companion paper [6], which contains some discussion of dynamical reconstruction techniques and dimension estimates.
		The theory of chaotic dynamical systems is relatively recent, going back only to the work of Poincaré [22] and Birkhoff [2].

		The ill-posedness of importance to us arises from the non- injectivity of the sequence of functions, and the multifunctional inverse of f that is obtained from its generalized inverse G is basic to our theory.
		We show that a notion of maximal ill-posedness of the sequence of iterates of f is equivalent to chaos of the discrete dynamical system.

		Both diagrams are useful in teaching chaotic dynamical systems, Ross's specialty, which he explains as the study of "how small changes in a system may produce big changes later on down the road." (Or, as the cliché goes, "Can the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas?")
		Because the graph represented the relative positions of two different kinds of points (the computed values seemed to avoid one kind, the "repelling points," and gravitate toward the other, the "attracting points"), he and Sorensen had drawn what is defined as the bifurcation diagram.
		Problem is, that term is often incorrectly applied to a different diagram, the orbit diagram, which shows the attracting points but only a chaotic scramble of dots where the repelling points should be.
