Direction in Chaos - Vol. 7

APPLIED SYMBOLIC DYNAMICS AND CHAOS

by Bai-Lin Hao & Wei-Mou Zheng (Academia Sinica, China)

Symbolic dynamics is a coarse-grained description of dynamics. It provides a rigorous way to understand the global systematics of periodic and chaotic motion in a system. In the last decade it has been applied to nonlinear systems described by one- and two-dimensional maps as well as by ordinary differential equations. This book will help practitioners in nonlinear science and engineering to master that powerful tool.


Contents:

  • Symbolic Dynamics of Unimodal Maps
  • Maps with Multiple Critical Points
  • Symbolic Dynamics of Circle Maps
  • Symbolic Dynamics of Two-Dimensional Maps
  • Application to Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Counting the Number of Periodic Orbits
  • Symbolic Dynamics and Grammatical Complexity
  • Symbolic Dynamics and Knot Theory


Readership: Graduate students and researchers in the field of nonlinear and chaotic phenomena.
