This current volume contains 12 new papers on the subject of chaos in the physical sciences, which was initiated with the publication of the book Research Advances in Chaos Theory. It is clear the subject continues to attract a great deal of attention among scientists in the scientific community. This volume looks at such problems as chaos in nonlinear systems, in dynamical systems, quantum chaos, biological applications, and a few new emerging areas as well.

Si un papillon bat des ailes au Brésil, est-ce que cela peut provoquer une tornade au Texas ? La théorie du chaos tente de répondre à de telles questions déroutantes. La découverte d’aléatoire au sein de systèmes physiques en apparence stables s’est transformée en une science proclamant que l’Univers est bien plus imprévisible que nous ne l’avions imaginé. Cet « Aperçu » du chaos explique comment le chaos se manifeste dans une série d’événements, depuis les fluctuations des populations animales aux hauts et bas du marché financier. Il analyse également les racines du chaos dans les mathématiques modernes et la physique, et explore les liens entre chaos et complexité, la théorie unificatrice qui suggère que tout système complexe évolue à partir de quelques règles très simples. Le livre offre une introduction accessible à une théorie étonnante et controversée.

The subject of chaos has invaded practically every area of the natural sciences. Weather patterns are referred to as chaotic. There are chemical reactions and chaotic evolution of insect populations. Atomic and molecular physics have also seen the emergence of the study of chaos in these microscopic domains. This book examines the issue of chaos in nonlinear and dynamical systems, quantum mechanics, biology, and economics.

The field of mathematics has produced many beautiful results, and among them, fixed points hold great importance as they can be used to describe and explain various mathematical curiosities, even those of the most complex technical applications. This book explores some of the latest and most fascinating results on the study of fixed points from a scientific perspective and presents new approaches to studying them along with possible applications.

This book is unique when compared with books on non-linear circuits and systems. The book introduces novel concepts of physics, computer and electrical engineering. The synthesis of Multi-scroll chaotic oscillators is performed through three hierarchical levels of abstractions. A good repertoire of multi-scroll chaos generators is presented by dealing with 1D, 2D ad 3D oscillators which require one, two or three piece-wise linear functions, respectively. Each function is designed using operational amplifiers. Since the approach uses behavioral models, other electronic devices including novel i

Pendulum is the simplest nonlinear system, which, however, provides the means for the description of different phenomena in Nature that occur in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, communications, economics and sociology. The chaotic behavior of pendulum is usually associated with the random force acting on a pendulum (Brownian motion). Another type of chaotic motion (deterministic chaos) occurs in nonlinear systems with only few degrees of freedom. This book presents a comprehensive description of these phenomena going on in underdamped and overdamped pendula subject to additive and multip

This book is an authoritative and unique reference for the history of chaos theory, told by the pioneers themselves. It also provides an excellent historical introduction to the concepts. There are eleven contributions, and six of them are published here for the first time - two by Steve Smale, three by Yoshisuke Ueda, and one each by Ralph Abraham, Edward Lorenz, Christian Mira, Floris Takens, T Y Li and James A Yorke, and Otto E Rossler. Contents: On How I Got Started in Dynamical Systems 1959-1962 (S Smale); Finding a Horseshoe on the Beaches of Rio (S Smale); Strange Attractors and the Ori
