Edward Lorenz [1917-2008]

˙ X = −σ(X − Y) ˙ Y = r X − Y − X Z ˙ Z = −bZ + XY

“The feasibility of very long-range weather prediction is examined in the light of these results”

Lorenz Equations ˙ X = −σ(X − Y) ˙ Y = r X − Y − X Z ˙ Z = −bZ + XY

(where ˙ X = d X/dt, etc.). The equations give the flow f = ( ˙ X, ˙ Y, ˙ Z) of the point X = (X, Y, Z) in the phase space r = R/Rc, b = 8/3, and σ is the Prandtl number.

Properties of the Lorenz Equations

Autonomous—time does not explicitly appear on the right hand side; Involve only first order time derivatives so that the evolution depends only

  • n the instantaneous value of (X, Y, Z);

Non-linear—the quadratic terms X Z and XY in the second and third equations; Dissipative—crudely the diagonal terms such as ˙ X = −σ X correspond to decaying motion. More systematically, volumes in phase space contract under the flow (Strogatz §9.2) ∇ · f = ∂ ∂ X [−σ(X − Y)] + ∂ ∂Y [r X − Y − X Z] + ∂ ∂ Z [−bZ + XY] = −σ − 1 − b < 0 Solutions are bounded—trajectories eventually enter and stay within an ellipsoidal region (Strogatz Exercises 9.2.2-3)

Butterfly Effect

The sensitive dependence on initial conditions found by Lorenz is often called the butterfly effect, and is the essential feature of chaos. In fact Lorenz first said (Transactions of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1963): One meteorologist remarked that if the theory were correct, one flap of the sea gull’s wings would be enough to alter the course of the weather forever. By the time of Lorenz’s talk at the December 1972 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington D.C., the sea gull had evolved into the more poetic butterfly — the title of his talk was: Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado in Texas?

Strange Attractor

Trajectories settle onto a strange attractor: Definition: strange attractor — an attractor that exhibits sensitive dependence

  • n initial conditions (Ruelle and Takens).

(See Strogatz §9.3 for complete definitions.) The Lorenz attractor has no volume but is not a sheet: it is a fractal of noninteger dimension.

Routes to Chaos

How does chaos develop from simpler dynamics (fixed points, limit cycles, etc.) as a parameter of the system is changed? Lorenz Model: Complicated — I will just show you some qualitative

  • trends. See Strogatz §9.5 for more details.

Period Doubling: Successive period doubling bifurcations from a periodic

  • rbit (period 2,4,…∞ → chaos). Feigenbaum showed there are universal

features of this route to chaos. Breakdown of Quasiperiodicity: Ruelle and Takens discussed the structural instability of quasiperiodic motion with many frequencies. …
