Thesis topic proposal

Understanding dynamics with drifts: a snapshot attractor view

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
physics
Doctoral School of Physics

Thesis supervisor: Tamás Tél
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Eötvös Loránd University Faculty of Science, Institute for Theoretical Physics
Abbreviation of location of studies: ELTE

Description of the research topic:

Complex dynamics in driven systems with nonperiodic forcing cannot be understood by means of the traditional theory of chaos. The concept of snapshot attractors offers a new view for dissipative cases. The aim is to understand this approach and to apply it in numerical simulations. Potential applications range from mechanical systems in which the forcing is dying away up to the dynamics of climate change.

Required language skills: English (native)
Further requirements:
Preliminary knowledge:Ott: Chaos in Dynamcal Systems (Cambridge 1993)
Experience with the numerical solution of ordinary differential equation, with the use of Latex, Gnuplot, etc.
Basics of statistical mechanics

Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2018-05-31
