Strange attractors, chaotic dynamics of systems with hyperbolic behavior (37D45)

Review text

It has been realized that the chaotic behavior of dynamical systems is due to nonlinear effects produced by dynamical equations and their effects involve spatial as well as temporal aspects. While the probabilistic description of effects in the phase space has been reported widely. By looking into simple examples relations between the two directions of description can be derived analytically. The authors find that they describe fundamentally different aspects of the scaling function of a strange attractor and that only in special case the result of one description is deducible from the other. However, the complete scaling behavior of a dynamical system can be described in terms of a generalized thermodynamic formalism. The authors give a short interpretation of experimentally obtainable scaling functions of Lyapunov exponents in terms of the joint scaling properties of a fractal. Later, they discuss a specific example of such a function, namely, for an experimental \(p\)-doped germanium semiconductor, where they give evidence of a phase-transition-like behavior. The authors conclude that the results agree with those derived by Horie et al. from model maps, indicating that scaling functions for the scaling of the support are a powerful method of characterizing experimental dynamical systems.
