nonlinear dynamics

For the first time, mathematicians have proved that planetary orbits in a solar system will always be unstable.

New research finds that chaos plays a bigger role in population dynamics than decades of ecological data seemed to suggest.

Two teams found different ways for quantum computers to process nonlinear systems by first disguising them as linear ones.

In a world seemingly filled with chaos, physicists have discovered new forms of synchronization and are learning how to predict and control them.

Scientists are homing in on a warning signal that arises in complex systems like ecological food webs, the brain and the Earth’s climate. Could it help prevent future catastrophes?

Nature has revealed peculiar mathematical objects that connect order and chaos.
