Symbolic Dynamics in
Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering

submitted by Warren Weckesser

Abstract:

We discuss several applications of symbolic dynamics and topological analysis to problems in mathematics, physics, and engineering, based on a talk presented by Dr. Nicholas Tufillaro of Hewlett-Packard Research Labs at the IMA Industrial Problems Seminar on September 26, 1997.
