We have developed a method for reconstructing equations of motion for systems where all the necessary variables have not been observed. This technique can be applied to systems with one or several such hidden variables, and can be used to reconstruct maps or differential equations. The effects of experimental noise are discussed through specific examples. The control of nonlinear systems containing hidden variables is also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
