This study book by Edward Ott addresses chaos theory with new insights and extensive content. The new edition includes more homework problems and a completely new chapter on the control and synchronization of chaos. This makes the book suitable for advanced undergraduate and master's students in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics.
Description
Chaos, a complex phenomenon found in many systems, is at the center of this revised edition. In addition to the new chapter on chaos synchronization and control, topics such as riddled basins or attraction, phase locking of globally coupled oscillator groups, fractal structures in fluid advection, magnetic dynamos, and unusual non-chaotic attractors have also been added. The new edition provides up-to-date knowledge relevant to teaching and research in chaotic dynamics.
