Vector fields of nonlinear systems, limit cycles, Lorenz and Rossler equation, Chua’s circuit, discrete dynamical systems, logistic maps, two dimensional maps, bifurcations, flows, phase plane analysis. Introduction to fractals, Mandlebrot and Julia sets, iterated function systems, strange attractors, fractal dimension, stable and unstable manifolds, analysis of chaotic time series, multifractals Applications in various fields that include, Control theory, Signal processing, Digital image modeling, synthesis and compression, Chaos communication and Cryptography. Other applications in engineering, natural and social sciences, medicine, economics, ecology, bio and life sciences, and environmental sciences.
