Abstract
A dynamical system is a mathematical object to describe the development of a physical, biological or another system from real life depending on time. It is defined by a phase space M, and by a one-parameter family of mappings φ: M → M, where t is the parameter (the time). In the following, the phase space is often Rn, a subset of it, or a metric space. The time parameter t is from R (time continuous system) or from Z or from Z+ (time discrete system). Furthermore, it is required for arbitrary x ∈ M that
-
a)
φ0(x) = x and
-
b)
φt(φs(x)) = φt+s(x) for all t, s. The mapping φ1 is denoted briefly by φ.
