Title: Overview of nonlinear dynamical systems and complexity theory

Abstract

A brief overview is presented of the principal elements of {open_quote}{open_quote}nonlinear dynamics{close_quote}{close_quote}: catastrophes, fractals, chaos, solitary waves, and coherent and dissipative structures. The text is followed by a set of 10 portraits of the strange and violent world of nonlinear dynamics. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
