"Deciding the undecidable: probabilistic and
numerical approaches to chaotic dynamical systems"

Abstract: Many classes of chaotic dynamical
systems are now relatively well understood and
their dynamics can be described in a variety of
ways. However it is often highly non-trivial,
indeed sometimes arguably impossible, to show
that a given dynamical system is chaotic. The
most we can hope for is to be able to state that
a system is "approximately chaotic" in some
rigorous sense. In this talk I will discuss some
recent approaches in this direction.

Everybody interested is much welcome to attend.
