Stochastic representation of chaos using terminal attractors (Q1772895)

A nonlinear version of the Liouville equation is proposed for describing post-instability motions of dynamical systems. The approach is based on the introduction of stabilizing control forces that couple equations of motion and the evolution of the probability density of errors in initial conditions. These stabilizing forces create a powerful terminal attraction in the probability space that corresponds to occurrence of the target trajectory with the probability one. Moreover, general analytical proof as well as a computational strategy is introduced. Since the proposed approach is not restricted by any special assumptions about the original dynamical system, it can be applied to both conservative and dissipative systems.
