Hilborn, Robert C
Chaos and nonlinear dynamics An introduction for scientists and engineers - New York: Oxford Uni. Press, [c2009] - 650 p
I THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF CHAOS
1 Three Chaotic Systems
2 The Universality of Chaos
II TOWARD A THEORY OF NONLINEAR DYNAMICS AND CHAOS
3 Dynamics in State Space: One and Two Dimensions
4 Three-Dimensional State Space and Chaos
5 Iterated Maps
6 Quasi-Periodicity and Chaos
7 Intermittency and Crises
8 Hamiltonian Systems
III MEASURES OF CHAOS
9 Quantifying Chaos
10 Many Dimensions and Multifractals
IV SPECIAL TOPICS
11 Pattern Formation and Spatiotemporal Chaos
12 Quantum Chaos, The Theory of Complexity, and Other Topics
This book introduces the full range of activity in the rapidly growing field of nonlinear dynamics. Using a step-by-step introduction to dynamics and geometry in state space as the central focus of understanding nonlinear dynamics, this book includes a thorough treatment of both differential equation models and iterated map models (including a detailed derivation of the famous Feigenbaum numbers). It includes the increasingly important field of pattern formation and a survey of the controversial question of quantum chaos. Important tools such as Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, and correlation dimensions are treated in detail. Several appendices provide a detailed derivation of the Lorenz model from the Navier-Stokes equation, a summary of bifurcation theory, and some simple computer programs to study nonlinear dynamics. Each chapter includes an extensive, annotated bibliography.
