Exploring nonlinear dynamics
Animated Phase Plane Diagrams
2D Linear SystemsAn interactive visualization showing how linear two-dimensional dynamic systems can behave. With this, one can get an understanding and a feeling for the meaning of eigenvectors real and complex eigenvalues and various kinds of fixed points.
2D Nonlinear System: Van der Pol Oscillator
An interactive visualization giving intuition for the effect of the parameter in the Van der Pol oscillator and the effect of the Liénard transformation.
3D Nonlinear System: Lorenz Attractor
An interactive visualization of the famous chaotic Lorenz system.
