Fractal Dimensions for Poincare Recurrences

The system almost repeats its initial state. This book is devoted to an important branch of the dynamic system. The authors were able to write an entirely self-contained text, including many insights and examples, as well as providing complete details of proofs. The only prerequisites are a basic knowledge of analysis and topology. Thus this book can be used as a graduate text or a non-linear dynamics (in the natural sciences). Moreover, the book can be used by specialists in nonlinear dynamics. The authors of the problematic problems of chaotic systems.

* Portions of the book was published in the title of "Mathematics month in a field of Mathematics" in May 2004
* Rigorous mathematical theory is combined with important physical applications
* Presents rules for immediate action to mathematical models of real systems
* Contains standard theorems of dynamical systems theory
