Two-parameter families of strange attractors
1Physics Department, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA.
Abstract:
Periodically driven two-dimensional nonlinear oscillators can generate strange attractors that are periodic. These attractors are mapped in a locally 1-1 way to entire families of strange attractors that are indexed by a pair of relatively prime integers (n(1),n(2)), with n(1)>/=1. The integers are introduced by imposing periodic boundary conditions on the entire strange attractor rather than individual trajectories in the attractor. The torsion and energy integrals for members of this two parameter family of locally identical strange attractors depend smoothly on these integers.

Categories of Equilibrium
One of the categories of equilibrium is collinear equilibrium, which involves forces acting along a straight line. This type of equilibrium requires only one force equation in the direction of the forces, as the other equations are...
One-Degree-of-Freedom System
A one-degree-of-freedom system is defined by an independent variable that determines its state and behavior. One example of a one-degree-of-freedom system is a simple harmonic oscillator, such as a...
Pole and System Stability
Simple poles are unique roots of the denominator polynomial. Each simple pole corresponds to a distinct solution to the system's characteristic equation, typically resulting in exponential decay terms in the system's response.
