Résumé :
|
This volume is designed mainly for physicists with a standard mathematics education, and does not pretend to mathematical rigour in the introduction but instead tries to rely more or less on physical intuition. However, a demanding reader can easily find precise formulation in the reprinted papers or trace them through the bibliography. The better understood part of chaos is essentially classic. Quantum mechanics, in spite of its probabilistic interpretation, happens to be more deterministic, i.e., less chaotic, compared to its classical counterpart. In this volume we shall put aside the problem of quantum chaos except for citing a number of references in the bibliography. A short chapter on the KAM theorem and stochasticity in classical dynamical systems is included.
