The Chaos Movie Theater

Animations of chaotic attactors in 3D from the Visual Math Institute, by Ralph H. Abraham.

Movies of Rossler's other attractors.

  • Rossler's funnel attractor, rotation by 360 degrees
    From Rossler, 1977: x' = -y-z; y' = x+Ay, z' = Bx-Cz+xy
    A = 0.5, B = 0.4, C = 4.5
  • Rossler's funnel attractor, bifurcations with B
    From Rossler, 1976: x' = -y-z; y' = x+Ay, z' = B-Cz+xy
    A = 0.343, C = 9.75, and B declines from 0.5 to 0.1 in 40 steps
  • Rossler's corkscrew attractor, rotation by 360 degrees
    From Rossler, 1977: x' = Ax -y -Bz; y' = x + 1.1, z' = z' = D(1-zz)(x+z)-z (D = 1/epsilon)
    A = 0.5, B = 5, D = 100/3
