This book discusses many of the common scaling properties observed in
some nonlinear dynamical systems mostly described by mappings. The
unpredictability of the time evolution of two nearby initial
conditions in the phase space together with the exponential divergence
from each other as time goes by lead to the concept of chaos. Some of
the observables in nonlinear systems exhibit characteristics of
scaling invariance being then described via scaling laws. From the
variation of control parameters, physical observables in the phase
space may be characterized by using power laws that many times yield
into universal behavior. The application of such a formalism has been
well accepted in the scientific community of nonlinear dynamics.
Therefore I had in mind when writing this book was to bring together
few of the research results in nonlinear systems using scaling
formalism that could treated either in under-graduation as well as in
the post graduation in the several exact programs but no earlier
requirements were needed from the students unless the basic physics
and mathematics. At the same time, the book must be original enough to
contribute to the existing literature but with no excessive
superposition of the topics already dealt with in other text books.
The majority of the Chapters present a list of exercises. Some of them
are analytic and others are numeric with few presenting some degree of
computational complexity.
