AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the physical systems related to the Henon and Ikeda attractors, with a focus on their origins in chaos theory and non-linear dynamics. The Henon attractor is linked to perturbations in asteroid orbits, while the Ikeda attractor arises from non-linear optical systems. Participants clarify the distinction between mathematical and physical interpretations of these attractors. Resources such as MathWorld and Hypertextbook are suggested for further information. Understanding these attractors requires recognizing their applications in real-world phenomena.

can someone tell me what's the physical system of Henon and Ikeda attractor?? or tell me some web side about this, because i need to do an assignment:wink: thank you!

What do you mean by "what's the physical system..."? Don't you mean whta's the mathematical system of the Henon and Ikeda attractors?

'Cos if you if you do the answer is easy: chaos theory/non-linear dynamics

no no...
just like Lorenz attractor, it's a model as atmospheric convection
do you what i mean?
 
No, I still don't quite understand you, as strange attractors can be viewed abstarctly, but the Henon attractor came about from the study of peturbations in asteroid orbits and the Ikeda attractor came about from the study of non-linear optical systems:

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
