[Janis Alnis] wanted to build an analog computer circuit and bought some multiplier chips. The first attempt used apparently fake chips that were prone to overheating. He was able to get it to work… ...

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor.

The Lorenz attractor is an example of deterministic chaos. Previously, the Lorenz attractor could only be generated by numerical approximations on a computer. Now we have a rigorous proof that ...

Here’s a look at the output waveforms from a recently released open-source Chaotic Circuits PCB that includes Lorenz, Chua, and Rossler Strange Attractors.

In particular, the Lorenz attractor is a set of chaotic solutions of the Lorenz system which, when plotted, resemble a butterfly or figure eight.

The Lorenz system, originally discovered by American mathematician and meteorologist, Edward Norton Lorenz, is a system that exhibits continuous-time chaos and is described by three coupled ...

The Lorenz attractor is a set of chaotic solutions of the Lorenz system which, when plotted, resemble a butterfly or figure eight.

I'm working on a toy Java app to display the Lorenz attractor for one or more trajectories, and so far it's working pretty well, except that I'm hardcoding the scaling factors for display. This ...

The popular concept has been depicted in everything from film to social media testimonials, but the real science behind the butterfly effect can help scientists predict the future.

The mathematician Edward Lorenz created the model, called a strange attractor, in the 1960s; it's a line that alternately spirals around two adjacent ovals, mapping out the chaotic solution to a ...
