Long before artificial intelligence began reshaping science, Los Alamos researchers stumbled onto a deeper truth about the natural world: some complex systems cannot be predicted in simple, linear ways.

The last several posts have been looking at the bifurcation diagram below in slices. The first post looked at the simple part, corresponding to the horizontal axis r running from 0 to 3. The next post looked at the first fork, for r between 3 and 3.4495. The previous post looked at the period doubling region, […] The post An island of stability in a sea of chaos first appeared on John D. Cook .

The butterfly effect — that the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas — expresses the sensitivity of a chaotic system to initial conditions. In essence, because we can’t possibly track every butterfly in Brazil, we’ll never perfectly predict tornadoes in Texas, even if the equations behind our weather […]

A butterfly flaps its wings in China and causes a Tornado in Texas - that’s a popular example of the “Butterfly Effect.” However, scientists now say that the Butterfly Effect might be even more dramatic than previously thought, and that molecular noise can do it.

I just finished reading The Three Body Problem. At the end of the book is a preview of Cixin Liu’s book Supernova Era. A bit of dialog in that preview stood out to me because it is touches on themes I’ve written about before. “I’ve heard about that. When a butterfly flaps its wings, there’s […] The post Bad takes on chaos theory first appeared on John D. Cook .

The study of chaos theory begins with unraveling the foundations that govern seemingly random systems. Explore the fundamental principles that guide this intriguing branch of science, revealing order in what appears to be chaotic and unpredictable. Deterministic Chaos: Order in Complexity Within the apparent randomness lies a hidden order governed by deterministic chaos. Delve into […] The post C…

The tent map is a famous example of a chaotic function. We will show how a tiny modification of the tent maps retains continuity of the function but prevents chaos. The tent map is the function f: [0, 1] → [0, 1] defined by This map has an unstable fixed point at x0 = 2/3.  […] The post Adding a tiny trap to stop chaos first appeared on John D. Cook .

Dynamical systems can be chaotic and impossible to predict, but mathematicians have discovered tools to help understand them. The post How We Can Make Sense of Chaos first appeared on Quanta Magazine

Chaotic systems are unpredictable. Or rather chaotic systems are not deterministically predictable in the long run. You can make predictions if you weaken one of these requirements. You can make deterministic predictions in the short run, or statistical predictions in the long run. Lyapunov exponents are a way to measure how quickly the short run […] The post Lyapunov exponents first appeared on …
