Lorenz system

The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equations first studied by Edward Lorenz. It is
notable for having chaotic solutions for certain parameter values and initial conditions. In particular,
the Lorenz attractor is a set of chaotic solutions of the Lorenz system which, when plotted, resemble
a butterfly or figure eight.

Overview
In 1963, Edward Lorenz developed a simplified mathematical model for atmospheric convection.[1] The model is a system of three ordinary
differential equations now known as the Lorenz qe uations:

The equations relate the properties of a two-dimensional fluid layer uniformly warmed from below and cooled from above. In particular, the
equations describe the rate of change of three quantities with respect to time: is proportional to the rate of convection, to the horizontal
temperature variation, and to the vertical temperature variation.[2] The constants , , and are system parameters proportional to the Prandtl
[3]
number, Rayleigh number, and certain physical dimensions of the layer itself.

The Lorenz equations also arise in simplified models for lasers,[4] dynamos,[5] thermosyphons,[6] brushless DC motors,[7] electric circuits,[8]
chemical reactions[9] and forward osmosis.[10]

From a technical standpoint, the Lorenz system is nonlinear, non-periodic, three-dimensional and deterministic. The Lorenz equations have been
.[11]
the subject of hundreds of research articles, and at least one book-length study

Analysis
One normally assumes that the parameters , , and are positive. Lorenz used the values , and . The system exhibits
chaotic behavior for these (and nearby) values.[12]
If then there is only one equilibrium point, which is at the origin. This point corresponds to no convection. All orbits converge to the origin,
which is a global attractor, when .[13]

A pitchfork bifurcation occurs at , and for two additional critical points appear at: and

These correspond to steady convection. This pair of equilibrium points is stable only if

which can hold only for positive if . At the critical value, both equilibrium points lose stability through aHopf bifurcation.[14]

When , , and , the Lorenz system has chaotic solutions (but not all solutions are chaotic). Almost all initial points will tend
to an invariant set – the Lorenz attractor – a strange attractor and a fractal. Its Hausdorff dimension is estimated to be 2.06 ± 0.01, and the
correlation dimension is estimated to be 2.05 ± 0.01.[15] The exact Lyapunov dimension (Kaplan-Yorke dimension) formula of the global attractor
can be found analytically under classical restrictions on the parameters

[16]

The Lorenz attractor is difficult to analyze, but the action of the differential equation on the attractor is described by a fairly simple geometric
model.[17] Proving that this is indeed the case is the fourteenth problem on the list of Smale's problems. This problem was the first one to be
resolved, by Warwick Tucker in 2002.[18]

For other values of , the system displays knotted periodic orbits. For example, with it becomes a T(3,2) torus knot.

Example solutions of the Lorenz system for different values of ρ

ρ=14, σ=10, β=8/3 (Enlarge) ρ=13, σ=10, β=8/3 (Enlarge)

ρ=15, σ=10, β=8/3 (Enlarge) ρ=28, σ=10, β=8/3 (Enlarge)

For small values of ρ, the system is stable and evolves to one of two fixed point attractors. When ρ is larger than 24.74, the fixed
points become repulsors and the trajectory is repelled by them in a very complex way .

These figures — made using ρ=28, σ = 10 and β = 8/3 — show three time segments of the 3-D evolution of 2 trajectories (one in
fer only by 10−5 in the x-coordinate. Initially, the
blue, the other in yellow) in the Lorenz attractor starting at two initial points that dif
two trajectories seem coincident (only the yellow one can be seen, as it is drawn over the blue one) but, after some time, the
divergence is obvious.
Java animation of the Lorenz attractor shows the continuous evolution.

Derivation of the Lorenz equations as a model of atmospheric convection

The Lorenz equations are derived from the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximationto the equations describing fluid circulation in a shallow layer of
fluid, heated uniformly from below and cooled uniformly from above.[1] This fluid circulation is known as Rayleigh-Bénard convection. The fluid
is assumed to circulate in two dimensions (vertical and horizontal) with periodic rectangular boundary conditions.

The partial differential equations modeling the system's stream function and temperature are subjected to a spectral Galerkin approximation: the
hydrodynamic fields are expanded in Fourier series, which are then severely truncated to a single term for the stream function and two terms for
the temperature. This reduces the model equations to a set of three coupled, nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A detailed derivation may be
found, for example, in nonlinear dynamics texts.[19] The Lorenz system is a reduced version of a larger system studied earlier by Barry
Saltzman.[20]
