The book "Practical Numerical Algorithms for Chaotic Systems" by Thomas S. Parker and Leon O. Chua, published by Springer-Verlag, aims to present robust and reliable algorithms for simulating nonlinear dynamics, with a focus on chaotic behavior. The authors emphasize the importance of theoretical underpinnings to understand the applicability and interpretation of the algorithms. The book covers various aspects of chaotic systems, including steady-state solutions, Poincaré maps, stability, integration, locating limit sets, manifolds, dimension, bifurcation diagrams, and programming techniques. It also includes detailed pseudo-code for the algorithms and discusses the software package INSITE, which is available for simulating and investigating nonlinear systems. The book is designed to be accessible to readers with a basic understanding of linear systems and provides a comprehensive guide to the field of chaotic dynamics.The book "Practical Numerical Algorithms for Chaotic Systems" by Thomas S.
