Title: Calculation of the statistical properties of strange attractors

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6517788· OSTI ID:6517788

A path integral method is developed for the calculation of the statistical properties of a class of discrete, dissipative mappings which exhibit strange attractors. Exact analytic results are derived for the low order statistical moments. These non-trivial results are verified numerically.
