This book was developed from lecture notes for an introductory graduate course and provides an essential introduction to chaotic maps in finite-dimensional spaces. Furthermore, the authors show how to apply this theory to infinite-dimensional systems corresponding to partial differential equations to study chaotic vibration of the wave equation subject to various types of nonlinear boundary conditions. The book provides background on chaos as a highly interesting nonlinear phenomenon and explains why it is one of the most important scientific findings of the past three decades. In addition, the book covers key topics including one-dimensional dynamical systems, bifurcations, general topological, symbolic dynamical systems, and fractals. The authors also show a class of infinite-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems, which are reducible to interval maps, plus rapid fluctuations of chaotic maps. This second edition includes updated and expanded chapters as well as additional problems.
