Title of TalkChaos in Action: Discovering a Basin of Attraction
AbstractThis project is an analysis of the dynamics of a particular subset of 3-D discrete nilpotent maps represented by the general system of equations: x=y; y=x^2-y^2. The analysis focuses on defining the Basin of Attraction and locating invariant manifolds for maps of this type using Liapunov Equations, Functional Equations, and computer imaging/modeling.
