  3. CUPOLETS: Chaotic unstable periodic orbits theory and applications

    Zarringhalam, Kourosh

    <p>Recent theoretical work suggests that periodic orbits of chaotic systems are a rich source of qualitative information about the dynamical system. The presence of unstable periodic orbits located densely on the attractor is a typical characteristic of chaotic systems. This abundance of unstable …

  12. Periodic orbit analysis of the Helmholtz equation in two-dimensional enclosures

    Ham, ChristopherUniversity of Southampton2008

    This thesis examines how periodic orbits may be used in acoustics to understand solutions of the Helmholtz equation. A review of the links between ray and wave mechanics is given including WKBJ (Wentzel, Kramers, Brillouin and Jeffreys) and EBK (Einstein, Brillouin, Keller) methods. It is also …
