Chaos
Behavior exhibited by deterministic systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making long-term prediction impossible.
Julia Set
For a given function, the Julia set is the boundary of the set of all points that have bounded orbits under repeated iteration of the function.
Homeomorphism
A continuous function between topological spaces that has a continuous inverse function, preserving topological properties.
Periodic Orbit
An orbit that repeats itself after some period, indicating that the system returns to its original state.
Bifurcation
A qualitative change in the behavior of a dynamical system as a parameter is varied, resulting in the sudden appearance or disappearance of one or more solutions.
Topological Dynamics
The study of the behavior of dynamical systems where the phase space is a topological space, focusing on the properties that are invariant under homeomorphisms.
Dynamical System
A system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in a geometrical space.
Orbit
The set of all points that can be reached by iterating a function from one particular point in the space.
Attractor
A set towards which a dynamical system evolves over time, typically where the system is stable.
Equilibrium Point
A point in the phase space of a dynamical system where the system can remain indefinitely without changing state.
