Symplectic Maps and Chaos


The links below take you to pages that were made as part of the final project in Chaotic Dynamics class taught by Dr. Liz Bradley in the CS department here at CU. I looked at how using symplectic maps might affect the chaotic nature of various systems. The first two links go to applets that I wrote to illustrate some of the nature of symplectic maps and how their use can effect the structure of the KAM Tori of a system. The last link is to my final paper.
