Abstract:
First through playing a game, the basic concepts of dynamical system theory such as state space, evolution rule, attractor will be introduced. Various kinds of application in different disciplines from Nash equilibrium in economics to PageRank of WWW are briefly discussed. Then, different kinds of possible attractor of a dynamic system will be shown, from point attractor, torus attractor, periodic attractor to strange attractor. Finally, some beautiful strange attractors will be illustrated.
About the Speaker:
Xiong Wang has obtained his B.Sc. in math from the Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Currently, he is a PhD student at City University Hong Kong at the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks located at the EE department. His research interests are chaos, fractal and fundamental questions of nonlinear science.
