Chaotic Behaviour in Dynamical Systems
Traditional undergraduate program mes in physics rely on a number of sim plifications. One is the emphasis on linear systems; another is the belief that systems with a few degrees of freedom exhibit a deterministic behaviour, while those with many degrees of freedom can be treated using statistical methods only. Linear systems are attractive be cause they are conceptually simple and mathemat...
متن کاملUse of Chaotic Behaviour in Communication Security
In this paper, the chaos signal results from some selected dynamical modes formed from a dc biased Josephson junction is used in amplitude modulation instead of the usually used carrier. This will result in a modulated signal that is not possible to be detected without using the same signal used in the transmitter.
متن کاملChaotic ray propagation in corrugated layers
The aim of this paper is to study the effects of a corrugated wall on the behaviour of propagating rays. Different types of corrugation are considered, using different distributions of the corrugation heights: white Gaussian, power law, self-affine perturbation. In phase space, a prevalent chaotic behaviour of rays, and the presence of a lot of caustics, are observed. These results entail that ...
متن کاملComputational Challenges in Seismology
Seismology and engineering seismology have been dramatically affected by the emergence of high-performance computing. A recent report by the National Research Council's Committee on Seismology (NRC, 1996) is entirely devoted to surveying the status and potential of high-performance computing activities in this field. Here we summarize several applications and focus on one particular problem, th...
متن کاملMathematical Questions in Seismology
Seismologists, like mathematicians, are accustomed to dividing their subject into a pure and an applied branch. The desirability of such division is underlined by the manner in which non-seismologists frequently approach the subject. I t is too often taken for granted that, because an earthquake is a motion of the ground, seismology must be chiefly concerned with the detailed analysis of that m...
