Dynamical Systems at the University of Utah


In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in a geometrical space. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a pipe, and the number of fish each springtime in a lake.

 

Vector Fields Plot

The vector field v(x) is a smooth function that at every point of the phase space M provides the velocity vector of the dynamical system at that point.
