Chaos is when the waveforms become aperiodic. I think bifurcation is the phenomenon inclusive of chaos and in addition, it is also termed for situations in which the waveforms become n-periodic.Does bifurcation include period-n phenomenon as well as chaos? From period-n it means that still the waveform is periodic but the period changes and becomes n, where n can be n=2,3,4,..
Waveforms are still unstable on becoming n-periodic.Is this all correct?Kindly, also tell the difference.
Thanks in advance to all those who would discuss.
