Abstract:
We study hyperbolic chaotic dynamics for maps of a two-dimensional torus. We introduce a two-parameter family of diffeomorphisms which, as we show, demonstrates all types of hyperbolic chaotic dynamics that can appear in the two-dimensional case. In addition, we describe all the bifurcations responsible for the transitions between these chaotic regimes.

Toroids
When connected to a supply, the magnetic field generated in the toroid has field lines circular and concentric to its axis. Conventionally, the direction of this magnetic field is expressed using the right-hand rule. If the fingers of the right hand curl in the current direction, the thumb points in the...
