Dynamics: Numerical Explorations

Plotting trajectories is a useful capability in exploring a dynamical system, but it is just the beginning. The Maryland Chaos Group developed an array of tools to help visualize the properties of dynamical systems induding automatic method for plotting all "basins and attractors " , and for automatically searching for all computing "straddle trajectories", periodic orbits of a specified period. In the investigations of the Maryland Chaos Group, I. A. Yorke found it useful to be able to combine
