Topology in chaotic scattering
Article Abstract:
Chaotic scattering allows the modeling of complex phenomena in certain physical systems, such as chemical reactions, fluid dynamics, and celestial mechanics. The path of a light ray in a laboratory model, as it reflects from a scatter comprising four mirrored balls, is considered. The Wada property is verified experimentally for the laboratory model, with the use of a beam of 0.48 in diameter from a 0.95 mW helium-neon laser. Wada boundaries should be typical in chaotic scattering systems with more than two exit modes.

Using small perturbations to control chaos
Article Abstract:
Chaotic systems are extremely sensitive to tiny perturbations known as the 'butterfly effect.' A recent study shows that the butterfly effect controls trajectories in Chaotic systems, but since they have greater flexibility, they can immediately direct trajectories to a destined state. Chaotic systems help in controlling different situations, and have a wide range of dynamical behaviors to select. They have been helpful in communications, physiology, fluid mechanics, chemistry and other sciences.

Noise to order
Article Abstract:
Issues are presented concerning the similarity in the patterns which exist within natural systems such as crystal growth and floret evolution and the noise patterns produced by thermal fluctuations or mechanically random scattering.
