chaos theory

chaos theory

Branch of mathematics that attempts to describe irregular, unpredictable systems – that is, systems whose behaviour is difficult to predict because there are so many variable or unknown factors. Weather is an example of a chaotic system.

Chaos theory, which attempts to predict the probable behaviour of such systems, based on a rapid calculation of the impact of as wide a range of elements as possible, emerged in the 1970s with the development of sophisticated computers. First developed for use in meteorology, it has also been used in such fields as economics.

Nonlinear Dynamics helps scientists sort data and put it to good use.
It all began in a shed.. by The Journal (Newcastle, England)
Building on these foundations, Amabili turns to detailed discussion of nonlinear dynamics, stability, bifurcation analysis, and computational tools, with particular emphasis on the Galerkin method and Lagrange equations of motion and their applications to a variety of applications concerning discretizing plates and shells.
