Strange Nonchaotic Attractors: Dynamics Between Order and Chaos in Quasiperiodically Forced Systems

摘要: This book is the first monograph devoted exclusively to strange nonchaotic attractors (SNA), recently discovered objects with a special kind of dynamical behavior between order and chaos in dissipative nonlinear systems under quasiperiodic driving. A historical review discovery study SNA, mathematical physically-motivated examples, known experimental studies SNA are presented. The main focus on theoretical analysis by means different tools dynamics statistical physics (bifurcation analysis, Lyapunov exponents, correlations spectra, renormalization group). relations subject other fields such as quantum solid state also discussed.
