Chaos theory is concerned with unpredictable courses of events. The irregular and unpredictable time evolution of many nonlinear and complex linear systems has been named chaos. Chaos is best illustrated by Lorentz’ famous butterfly effect: the notion that a butterfly stirring the air in Hong Kong today can transform storm systems in New York ...
Chaos theory, more technically nonlinear dynamical systems (NLDS) theory, is an exciting, rapidly developing area of mathematics with increasing application in the physical, biological, and social sciences. Along with great metaphorical appeal, nonlinear dynamical systems can also add rigor and realism to human sciences; this article describes ...

Jun 1, 1996 · This article uses chaos theory to model public relations situations whose salient feature is the volatility of public perceptions. After discussing the central premises of the theory itself, it applies chaos theory to issues management, the evolution of interest groups, crises, and rumors. It concludes that chaos theory is most useful as an ...
Jul 1, 2010 · A literature review of past studies investigating chaos theory approaches in building simulation models suggests that as a basis chaos model is valid and can handle the increasing complexity of building systems that have dynamic interactions among all the distributed and hierarchical systems on the one hand, and the environment and occupants on ...
Chaos is the stochastic behavior of deterministic physical systems, resulting from extreme sensitivity of the dynamical evolution of such a system to small changes in the initial conditions. Strongly perturbed orbits, like those of planetary ring systems or stellar orbits in a galaxy, will display chaotic behavior.
Jan 1, 2004 · Abstract. The past two decades of research on chaos theory in geophysics has brought about a significant shift in the way we view geophysical phenomena. Research on chaos theory in geophysics continues to grow at a much faster pace, with applications to a wide variety of geophysical phenomena and geophysical problems.
Dec 1, 2021 · Further, the Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology and the Life Sciences (SCTPLS), established in 1991, of which Dr. Schuldberg has been President, now has members from 30 different countries. A recent review ( Pincus, et al., 2018 ) shows considerable high quality nonlinear work in humanistic psychology—a subdiscipline which over time has honored more systemic, holistic and interconnected ...
Dec 1, 2021 · The abovementioned principles of chaos theory (edge of chaos, the butterfly effect, bifurcation and cosmology, self-organization, and strange attractors) can help us to understand how COVID-19 has pushed the tourism industry to the edge of chaos, how the tourism industry is changing as a result of COVID-19, how the industry can self-organize with new norms, and what role strange attractors ...
Jan 1, 2012 · Chaos Theory has been successfully applied to predict the long-term behavior of numerous biological systems using a technique known as a “Recurrence Plot”. This same method of application should prove useful in Systems Engineering as well. Recurrence Plots reveal long-term and emergent behavior in complex systems when specific criteria are met.
