Abstract:
Chaos is a subject oftopical interest and, studied in great detail in relation to its
relevance in almost all branches of science, which include physical, chemical,
and biological fields. Chaos in the literal sense signifies utter confusion, but the
scientific community has differentiated chaos as deterministic chaos and white
noise. Deterministic chaos implies the complex behaviour of systems, which
are governed by deterministic laws. Behaviour of such systems often become
unpredictable in the long run. This unpredictability arises from the sensitivity of
the system to its initial conditions. The essential requirement for ‘sensitivity to
initial condition’ is nonlinearity of the system. The only method for
determining the future of such systems is numerically simulating its final state
from a set ofinitial conditions.
