Numerical Analysis of Dynamical Systems and the Fractal Dimension of Boundaries
Abstract
A set of MapleV R.4/5 software routines for calculating the numerical evolution of dynamical systems and flexibly plotting the results is presented. The package consists of an initial condition generator (on which the user can impose quite general constraints), a numerical solving manager, plotting commands that allow the user to locate and focus in on regions of possible interest and, finally, a set of routines that calculate the fractal dimension of the boundaries of those regions. A special feature of the software routines presented here is an optional interface in C, permitting fast numerical integration using standard Runge-Kutta methods, or variations, for high precision numerical integration
