Strange AttractorsFrom Art to Science J. C. Sprott Department of Physics University of Wisconsin - Madison Presented to the Society for chaos theory in psychology and the life sciences On August 1, 1997
Outline • Modeling of chaotic data • Probability of chaos • Examples of strange attractors • Properties of strange attractors • Attractor dimension • Simplest chaotic flow • Chaotic surrogate models • Aesthetics
Typical Experimental Data 5 x -5 500 0 Time
Determinism xn+1 = f (xn, xn-1, xn-2, …) where f is some model equation with adjustable parameters
Example (2-D Quadratic Iterated Map) xn+1 = a1 + a2xn + a3xn2 + a4xnyn + a5yn + a6yn2 yn+1 = a7 + a8xn + a9xn2 + a10xnyn + a11yn + a12yn2
Solutions Are Seldom Chaotic 20 Chaotic Data (Lorenz equations) Chaotic Data (Lorenz equations) x Solution of model equations Solution of model equations -20 0 Time 200

Mandelbrot set xn+1 = xn2 - yn2 + a yn+1 = 2xnyn + b a b
General 2-D quadratic map 100 % Bounded solutions 10% Chaotic solutions 1% 0.1% amax 0.1 1.0 10
Probability of chaotic solutions 100% Iterated maps 10% Continuous flows (ODEs) 1% 0.1% Dimension 1 10
Examples of strange attractors • A collection of favorites • New attractors generated in real time • Simplest chaotic flow • Stretching and folding
Strange attractors • Limit set as t • Set of measure zero • Basin of attraction • Fractal structure • non-integer dimension • self-similarity • infinite detail • Chaotic dynamics • sensitivity to initial conditions • topological transitivity • dense periodic orbits • Aesthetic appeal
Correlation dimension 5 Correlation Dimension 0.5 1 10 System Dimension
Simplest chaotic flow dx/dt = y dy/dt = z dz/dt = -x + y2 - Az 2.0168 < A < 2.0577
