Course objectives

This lecture is an introductory course of nonlinear dynamics dealing with solution of some simple classical systems with added nonlinear terms and deterministic chaos.

Learning outcomes

After passing this course the students should be able to:
- list and explain basic methods of solving classical systems, e.g. examining their phase portraits;
- apply these methods in case of systems with nonlinear terms;
- interpret the behavior of a dynamic system based on its phase trajectories;
- define and also classify a given problem leading to deterministic chaos.

Syllabus

• 1)Dynamical systems with discrete and continuous time evolution. Autonomous equations. State space, flow in phase space, fixed points, phase portraits,classification of linear systems, application to nonlinear systems.
• 2)Some one-dimensional nonlinear systems (Duffing oscillator, mathematical pendulum,forced oscillator).
• 3)Hamiltonian systems: integrability, invariants, periodic solutions, invariant tori and deterministic chaos, KAM theorem. Toda lattice,Hénon-Heiles potential, convex billiards.
• 4)One-dimensional maps: logistic equation, bifurcations, period-doubling , Feigenbaum theory.
• 5)Dissipative systems: time evolution in phase space, divergence theorem, Lyapunov exponents, strange attractors (Hénon, Lorenz, Rösler),fractal dimension.
