Some elements for a history of the dynamical systems theory

Abstract: Writing a history of a scientific theory is always difficult because it requires to focus on some key contributors and to “reconstruct” some supposed influences. In the 1970s, a new way of performing science under the name “chaos” emerged, combining the mathematics from the nonlinear dynamical systems theory and numerical simulations. To provide a direct testimony of how contributors can be influenced by other scientists or works, we here collected some writings about the early times of a few contributors to c… Show more

“…Several other papers have already been published, usually supported by a huge number of relevant works cited therein. For example, some elements for a history of dynamical systems theory are provided in a paper having the same title [186]. Pioneering work [187] gives a nice explanation of nonlinear dynamics observed within higher-order oscillatory circuits, both autonomous and driven.…”

“…However, while the laws of physics enable us to predict the interactions of dynamic systems comprising just two bodies, the introduction of just a third gives rise to complex interactions that render systems chaotic and unpredictable, in the long term at least (Gowers et al, 2008). Poincare's proof of this in 1890 led to the development of chaos theory (Letellier et al, 2021), of which the butterfly effect (Lorenz, 1963) is possibly the best-known concept. This describes how very small changes in one part of a complex system may have very large effects elsewhere.…”

“…Conducted in the spirit of recent works by Banaszak et al, (2015Banaszak et al, ( , 2019, this study is devoted to the dynamics of spatial interactions generated by urban units included in a regular hexagonal CPT pattern (see also : Allen, 1997;Allen and Sanglier, 1979;Allen, Sanglier, 1981;Alligood et al, 1996;Bandt and Mekhontsev, 2018;Chen, 2011;Dzięcielski et al, 2021;Fujita et al 2001;Ikeda et al, 2014Ikeda et al, , 2017Letellier et al, 2021;White, 1977). It seeks to develop a comprehensive dynamic 'umbrella' methodology in which prevailing static CPT approaches can be positioned and combined from a unitary Newtonian motion perspective on hierarchical systems.…”
