CHAOTIC SEMINAR: CHAOS AND PREDICTABILITY IN MATHEMATICAL MODELS
The purpose of this talk is to give a “pure” mathematicians perspective
on the meaning of “chaos” and “(un)predictability” in dynamical systems,
including systems of ODE’s such as the Lorenz equations. I will give a
brief historical review of the notion of chaos, discuss the difference
between “short term unpredictability” and “long term statistical
predictability”, and finally work through a simple mathematical example
in which this difference is very clear. **
