Modelling concepts arising from an investigation into a chaotic system (Q1179090)

The Chua circuit, a simple third-order nonlinear dynamical system that exhibits chaotic behavior, has highlighted shortcomings in presently used analysis and design techniques. The authors discuss the way, in which chaotic dynamical behavior in systems has affected many current ideas about the randomness of noise, the use of simulation, reducing problems to subproblems, the value of experiments, the use of nonlinear controllers, and the verification of system models.
