Learning Outcomes
| Learning outcomes |
The course is an introduction to continuous and discrete dynamical systems. Non linear systems of differential equations often lead to non-deterministic (stochastic) results and chaotic situations. The objectives of the course are:
Upon completion of the course the postgraduate student will be able to solve with analytical and numerical mathematical methods problems of the dynamical systems and to further deepen their understanding. |
|---|---|
| General Competences |
The course aims to enable the postgraduate student to:
All the above will give to the students the opportunity to work in an international multidisciplinary environment. |
Syllabus
Dynamical systems and differential equations of motion, Equilibrium points of the dynamical system, Period doubling of non-linear differential equations, Phase space of the dynamical system, Chaotic trajectory of the system, Poincare map, Applications of the dynamical systems, Henon map, Mandelbrot και Julia sets, Self-similarity under scale change and Fractals. The course includes training in computational methods in the computer laboratory (Applied and Computational Mathematics Laboratory).
