Orbit determination is possible for a chaotic orbit of a dynamical system, given a finite set of observations, provided the initial conditions are at the central time. In a simple discrete model, the standard map, we tackle the problem of…

Consider a dynamical system given by a planar differential equation, which exhibits an unstable periodic orbit surrounding a stable periodic orbit. It is known that under random perturbations, the distribution of locations where the…
We show sensitive dependece on initial condition and dense periodic points imply asymptotic sensitivity, a stronger form of sensitivity, where the deviation happens not just once but infintely many times. As a consequence it follows that…
The aim of this paper is to address an open problem given in [Kirk, W. A., Shahzad, Naseer, Normal structure and orbital fixed point conditions, J. Math. Anal. Appl. {\bf{vol 463(2)}}, (2018) 461--476]. We give a characterization of weak…
Prediction of events is the challenge in many different disciplines, from meteorology to finance; the more this task is difficult, the more a system is {\it complex}. Nevertheless, even according to this restricted definition, a general…
