Dynamics: Numerical Explorations

Download or read book Dynamics: Numerical Explorations written by Helena E. Nusse and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-author J.A. Yorke developed an array of tools to help visualize the properties of dynamical systems, while Yorke found it useful to combine these various basic tools into one single package: Dynamics. The program together with this manual provides an introduction to and an overview of fundamental, sophisticated tools and numerical methods together with many simple examples. All numerical methods described in this handbook are implemented in the program, which is capable of, among others: iterating maps and solving differential equations; plotting trajectories; featuring an array of simple commands; printing a created picture in resolution higher than that of the screen. Requires a UNIX workstation running X11 graphics or a PC.
