Experiencing Technology before it exists: A Case Study

Ubiquitous and wearable computing have been around for more than a decade now [15]. However, there is still no consensus on what the new technologies are going to be used for. Traditionally, application development in ubiquitous and wearable computing communities has been mostly technology driven. This has lead to a variety of applications of which only few are really being used in practice, e....

The Lorenz Attractor Exists

We prove that the Lorenz equations support a strange attractor, as conjectured by Ed-ward Lorenz in 1963. We also prove that the attractor is robust, i.e., it persists under small perturbations of the coeecients in the underlying diierential equations. The proof is based on a combination of normal form theory and rigorous numerical computations.
