This book is a tool for the theoretical and numerical investigation of nonlinear dynamical systems modeled by means of ordinary differential and difference equations. The work is divided into two parts: a book, comprising a theoretical overview of the subject matter and a number of applications; and an integrated software program. The book first discusses the fundamental concepts and methods of chaos theory, and then applies these theoretical results and the facilities provided by the companion software program to models suggested by economic problems.

Book Description:

This work is a tool for the theoretical and numerical investigation of nonlinear dynamical systems modeled by means of ordinary differential and difference equations. Comprising a theoretical overview as well as a number of applications, the book is supplemented by an integrated software program.

Review:

"On the whole I think that Chaotic Dynamics serves as a very useful guide to theoretical models of chaotic dynamics in economics. The book is clearly written and...the mathematical presentation is sufficiently rigorous to provide a firm foundation in the topic...readers seeking a rigorous introduction to the theoretical models of chaotic economic dynamics are encouraged to work through the relevant sections of Chaotic Dynamics." Philip Rothman, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization
