  1. Pendulum without friction Limit cycle in phase space: no sensitivity to initial conditions

  2. Pendulum with friction Fixed point attractor in phase space: no sensitivity to initial conditions

  3. Pendulum with friction: basin of attraction Different starting positions end up in the same fixed point. Its like rolling a marble into a basin. No matter where you start from, it ends up in the drain.

  4. Pendulum with friction Adding a third dimension of potential energy: the basin of attraction as a gravitational well.

  5. Inverted Pendulum: ball on flexible rod flops to one side or the other Basin of attraction in phase space: two fixed points.

  6. Inverted Pendulum: ball on flexible rod Potential energy plot shows the two fixed points as the “landscape” of the basin of attraction.

  9. Very simple device, but its motion can be very complex (here an LED is attached in a time exposure photo) Double Pendulum Simulation at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXf95_EKS6E

  10. Logistic Equation: a period-doubling route to chaos 0<x<1 (think of x as percentage of total population, say 1 million rabbits) Population this year: xt Population next year: xt+1 Rate of population increase: R Positive Feedback Loop: xt+1= R*xt Negative Feedback Loop: 1-xt (if x gets big, 1-x gets small)

  11. Logistic Equation: a period-doubling route to chaos Positive Feedback Loop: xt+1= R*xt

  12. Logistic Map Starting at xt= 0.2 and R= 2: “fixed point” or “point attractor.” All starting values are in this “basin of attraction” so they eventually end there.

  13. Logistic Map Starting at xt= 0.2 and R= 3.1: limit cycle of “period two” (because it oscillates between two values).

  14. Logistic Map: cobweb diagram Starting at xt= 0.2 and R= 3.1: limit cycle of “period two” (because it oscillates between two values). In each iteration there are two steps. The first gives the parabola, . The second step we “reset” xt to xt+1 which is the straight line. We see a “fixed point Attractor. Animation: http://lagrange.physics.drexel.edu/flash/logistic/

  15. Logistic Map Starting at xt= 0.2 and R = 3.49 we double the period (“bifurcation”): a limit cycle of four values.

  16. Logistic Map Increasing R continues to double the period. Starting at xt= 0.2 and R = 4 we see a chaotic attractor. The values will never repeat.

  17. Bifurcation Map Where does x “settle to” for increasing R values?

  18. Bifurcation Map The logistic map is a fractal: similar structure at different scales. Thus bifurcations happen with increasing frequency: the rate of increase is the Feigenbaum constant (4.7)

  19. Water drop model Plotting the time interval between one drip and the next: The amount of water in a drip depends on the drip that came before it—this feedback can create complex dynamics. Tn+1 Tn Two frequency drip One-frequency drip The period-doubling route to chaos: eventually the dripping faucet produces a strange attractor:
