Overview

This book is a monograph on chaos in dissipative systems written for those working in the physical sciences. Emphasis is on symbolic description of the dynamics and various characteristics of the attractors, and written from the view-point of practical applications without going into formal mathematical rigour. The author used elementary mathematics and calculus, and relied on physical intuition whenever possible. Substantial attention is paid to numerical techniques in the study of chaos. Part of the book is based on the publications of Chinese researchers, including those of the author's collaborators.Contents: Mathematical Models Exhibiting ChaosOne Dimensional MappingsElementary Symbolic DynamicsCircle Mappings and Two-Dimensional MapsChaos in Ordinary Differential EquationsCharacterization of Chaotic AttractorsTransient BehaviourReadership: Condensed matter physicists, applied mathematicians and computer scientists.
