In 1963 Edward Lorenz revealed deterministic predictability to be an illusion and gave birth to a field that still thrives. This Feature Article discusses Lorenz's discovery and developments that followed from it.

Chaotic iterations have been introduced on the one hand by Chazan, Miranker [5] and Miellou [9] in a numerical analysis context, and on the other hand by Robert [11] and Pellegrin [10] in the discrete dynamical systems framework. In both…

Chaotic iterations have been introduced on the one hand by Chazan, Mi- ranker [6] and Miellou [10] in a numerical analysis context, and on the other hand by Robert [12] and Pellegrin [11] in the discrete dynamical systems frame- work. In…

We describe some highlights in the theory of chaos, that started with Poincare (1899). Generic systems have both ordered and chaotic domains. Chaos appears mainly near un- stable periodic orbits. Large chaotic domains are due to resonance…

One of the major breakthroughs in science of the last (20th) century was building a bridge between the worlds of stochastic (random) systems and deterministic (dynamical) systems. It was started by the celebrated 1958 paper by…

An allegory published in 1963 titled Chaos in the Brickyard spoke to the decline in the quality of research. In the intervening time greater awareness of the issues and actions to improve research endeavors have emerged. Still, problems…

We present here the special issue of Physica D in honor of Boris Chirikov. It is based on the proceedings of the Conference "Classical Chaos and its Quantum Manifestations" held in Toulouse in July 1998. This electronic version contains the…

This paper is devoted to establish quantitative and qualitative estimates related to the notion of chaos as firstly formulated by M. Kac in his study of mean-field limit for systems of $N$ undistinguishable particles. First, we…

The significant discussion about the possible chaotic behavior of the mixmaster cosmological model due to Cornish and Levin [J.N. Cornish and J.J. Levin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78 (1997) 998; Phys. Rev. D 55 (1997) 7489] is revisited. We improve…

For the past decade there has been a considerable debate about the existence of chaos in the mixmaster cosmological model. The debate has been hampered by the coordinate, or observer dependence of standard chaotic indicators such as…

It is explained and stressed that the chaotic states in [1] are obtained by means of nonlinear switching.

The striking fractal geometry of strange attractors underscores the generative nature of chaos: like probability distributions, chaotic systems can be repeatedly measured to produce arbitrarily-detailed information about the underlying…

In many applications, there is a desire to determine if the dynamics of interest are chaotic or not. Since positive Lyapunov exponents are a signature for chaos, they are often used to determine this. Reliable estimates of Lyapunov…

Periodicity plays a significant role in the chaos theory from the beginning since the skeleton of chaos can consist of infinitely many unstable periodic motions. This is true for chaos in the sense of Devaney [1], Li-Yorke [2] and the one…

Chaos reveals a fundamental paradox in the scientific understanding of Complex Systems. Although chaotic models may be mathematically deterministic, they are practically non-determinable due to the finite precision, which is inherent in all…

The notion of Bohr chaos was introduced in [3, 4]. We answer a question raised in [3] of whether a non uniquely ergodic minimal system of positive topological entropy can be Bohr chaotic. We also prove that all systems with the…

The paper discusses the main ideas of the chaos theory and presents mainly the importance of the nonlinearities in the mathematical models. Chaos and order are apparently two opposite terms. The fact that in chaos can be found a certain…

Deterministic chaos is phenomenon from nonlinear dynamics and it belongs to greatest advances of twentieth-century science. Chaotic behavior appears apart of mathematical equations also in wide range in observable nature, so as in there…

Chaotic systems which are due to nonlinearity have attracted a great concern in the current world and chaotic models. Systems for a wide range of operation conditions have their application in almost all branches of engineering and science.…

We consider a quantum many-body system - the Bose-Hubbard system on three sites - which has a classical limit, and which is neither strongly chaotic nor integrable but rather shows a mixture of the two types of behavior. We compare quantum…
