Chaos From Theory to Applications

Based on chaos theory two very important points are clear: (I) random­ looking aperiodic behavior may be the product of determinism, and (2) nonlinear problems should be treated as nonlinear problems and not as simplified linear problems. The theoretical aspects ofchaos have been presented in great...
