MIPS Conference No. 5 – Entropy at infinity in chaotic dynamics

The Research Center conferences aim to raise awareness within the community about new topics and technological innovations. 

Aimed at a wide audience—students and researchers from all disciplines—they draw on the multidisciplinary expertise of the MIPS Center, partner centers and structures, and national and international teams.

They are held on the first Friday of each month at 11:30 a.m. and are followed by a buffet lunch, providing an opportunity to continue discussions.

ENTROPY AT INFINITY IN CHAOTIC DYNAMICS

Barbara Schapira, Professor, IMAG

What is a dynamic system from a fundamental mathematical perspective? How can we measure, understand, or even control the chaos that results from it?

During this lecture, we will delve into the heart of dynamic systems, mathematical objects that model the evolution of a system over time. We will see how entropy allows us to quantify the chaotic nature of these systems. Then, we will go even further by exploring the notion of entropy at infinity, a mathematical tool that allows us to control the chaos resulting from trajectories escaping to infinity.
