    Course Objectives The course aims the students: i) to know basic concepts on chaotic systems and fractal sets and ii) to use this knowledge in engineering applications.
    Learning Outcomes

    The students who succeeded in this course;

    • Know the features of a chaotic behavior distinguishing it from other dynamical behaviors,
    • Know the features of fractal sets distinguishing them from other sets,
    • Calculate numerically the Liapunov exponents of chaotic systems, and obtain and analyze bifurcation diagrams,
    • Construct fractal sets by iterated function systems, Use chaos and fractals in engineering applications.
    Course Description A unification of chaotic dynamics and fractal sets in a dynamical system and set theory background. Sensitive dependency and topological transitivity in invariant sets. From stable fixed points to period doubling, and entrance to chaos. Symbolic dynamics and examples for strange attractors. From cantor set to classical fractals. Self-similarity and fractal dimension. Image encoding by iterated function systems. Randomness in fractal construction. Chaotification. Engineering applications of chaos and fractals.
