FIG. 1. (a) The attractor of the Ikeda map and a partial trajectory. States colored blue (orange) are measured as outcome A (B). The proposed method optimizes the measurement of a chaotic system using ...

Hamiltonian systems lie at the heart of classical mechanics, governing the evolution of purely conservative systems where energy is rigorously maintained. Yet, even within these structured frameworks, ...

A process that seems to produce random outputs when repeated, but are not random. The difference is due to minute variations of the inputs that ultimately cause changes in the outputs. The classic ...

Physicists analyzed the Rossler system, a well-known chaotic system which physicists have studied thoroughly for almost 40 years. Looking at this system from a fresh perspective, they discovered new ...

Objection: Climate is an inherently chaotic system, and as such its behavior can not be predicted. Answer: Firstly, let's make sure we define climate: an average of weather patterns over some ...

A new study under the direction of Professor Barak Kol of the Hebrew University's Racah Institute of Physics establishes a novel method for comprehending the dynamics of non-hierarchical three-body ...

Averting floods: the chaotic nature of the weather could be used to prevent heavy downpours. (Courtesy: iStock/Supratim-Bhattacharjee) The chaotic nature of weather could be turned to humanity’s ...

Chaotic behaviour could emerge within systems where all motion dies out due to the effects of dissipation, according to a new study carried out by researchers in Hungary and the US. The team makes the ...

Short-lived species, such as market squid, are more likely to show chaotic population dynamics than longer-lived species. (Getty Images) Chaos in natural populations appears to be much more common ...
