Detecting change in complex process systems with phase space methods by Botha, Paul Jacobus

“…After the proposed method was applied to the data the three methods’ performance were evaluated. Time series data were obtained from simulating three systems with mathematical equations and observing one real process, the electrochemical noise produced by a corroding system. …”

Investigating the phase space dynamics of conservative dynamical systems by the Lagrangian descriptors method by Zimper, Sebastian

“…In this work, we numerically investigate the dynamics of conservative dynamical systems using the method of Lagrangian descriptors (LDs), which has been extensively used to visualise characteristic features (like fixed points, periodic orbits and their associated manifolds) in the phase space of nonlinear dynamical systems. The computation of LDs is based on the accumulation of a positive scalar value along any orbit of the dynamical system, making them a rather easily evaluated quantity. …”

Global dynamics of the universe by Boersma, Jelle Pieter

“…We use our results to calculate the lowest order non-trivial correction to the expansion of the observable universe, which is due to the fact that averaging does not commute with evaluating the (nonlinear) Einstein equations. In the third chapter of this thesis, we investigate the relation between surface terms which are evaluated at spatial infinity, and the local dynamics of a scalar field. …”
