  2. Lyapunov stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyapunov_stability

    The definition for discrete-time systems is almost identical to that for continuous-time systems. The definition below provides this, using an alternate language commonly used in more mathematical texts. Let (X, d) be a metric space and f : X → X a continuous function. A point x in X is said to be Lyapunov stable, if,

  3. Dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_system

    A discrete dynamical system, discrete-time dynamical system is a tuple (T, M, Φ), where M is a manifold locally diffeomorphic to a Banach space, and Φ is a function. When T is taken to be the integers, it is a cascade or a map. If T is restricted to the non-negative integers we call the system a semi-cascade. [13]

  4. Linear dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_dynamical_system

    Linear dynamical systems can be solved exactly, in contrast to most nonlinear ones. Occasionally, a nonlinear system can be solved exactly by a change of variables to a linear system. Moreover, the solutions of (almost) any nonlinear system can be well-approximated by an equivalent linear system near its fixed points. Hence, understanding ...

  5. Dynamical systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory

    Dynamical systems theory and chaos theory deal with the long-term qualitative behavior of dynamical systems.Here, the focus is not on finding precise solutions to the equations defining the dynamical system (which is often hopeless), but rather to answer questions like "Will the system settle down to a steady state in the long term, and if so, what are the possible steady states?", or "Does ...

  6. Discrete time and continuous time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_time_and...

    Discrete time views values of variables as occurring at distinct, separate "points in time", or equivalently as being unchanged throughout each non-zero region of time ("time period")—that is, time is viewed as a discrete variable. Thus a non-time variable jumps from one value to another as time moves from one time period to the next.

  7. Attractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor

    In the case of a marble on top of an inverted bowl (a hill), that point at the top of the bowl (hill) is a fixed point (equilibrium), but not an attractor (unstable equilibrium). In addition, physical dynamic systems with at least one fixed point invariably have multiple fixed points and attractors due to the reality of dynamics in the physical ...

  8. Steady state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state

    In chemistry, a steady state is a more general situation than dynamic equilibrium. While a dynamic equilibrium occurs when two or more reversible processes occur at the same rate, and such a system can be said to be in a steady state, a system that is in a steady state may not necessarily be in a state of dynamic equilibrium, because some of ...

  9. State variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_variable

    The state vector (vector of state variables) representing the current state of a discrete-time system (i.e. digital system) is [], where n is the discrete point in time at which the system is being evaluated. The discrete-time state equations are [+] = [] + [], which describes the next state of the system (x[n+1]) with respect to current state ...
