Information Dimensions of Simple Four-Dimensional Flows
Baker Maps have long served as pedagogical tools for understanding chaos and fractal phase-space distributions. Recent work [1], following earlier efforts from 1997 [2], shows that the Kaplan-Yorke formula for information dimension disagrees wit ...
A Quarter Century of Baker-Map Exploration
25 years ago the June 1998 Focus Issue of “Chaos” described the proceedings of a workshop meeting held in Budapest and called “Chaos and Irreversibility”, by the organizers, T. Tél, P. Gaspard, and G. Nicolis. These editors organized the meeting and the proceedings’ issue. They emphasi ...
Aspects of Dynamical Simulations, Emphasizing Nosé and Nosé-Hoover Dynamics and the Compressible Baker Map
Aspects of the Nosé and Nosé-Hoover dynamics developed in 1983–1984 along with Dettmann’s closely related dynamics of 1996, are considered. We emphasize paradoxes associated with Liouville’s Theorem. Our account is pedagogical, focused on the harmonic oscillator for simplicity, though exa ...
