lorenz: Lorenz system

Description

Generates a 3-dimensional time series using the Lorenz equations.

Usage

lorenz(
  sigma = 10,
  beta = 8/3,
  rho = 28,
  start = c(-13, -14, 47),
  time = seq(0, 50, by = 0.01),
  do.plot = deprecated()
)

Value

A list with four vectors named time, x, y

and z containing the time, the x-components, the y-components and the z-components of the Lorenz system, respectively.

Arguments

sigma

The \(\sigma\) parameter. Default: 10.

beta

The \(\beta\) parameter. Default: 8/3.

rho

The \(\rho\) parameter. Default: 28.

start

A 3-dimensional numeric vector indicating the starting point for the time series. Default: c(-13, -14, 47).

time

The temporal interval at which the system will be generated. Default: time=seq(0,50,by = 0.01).

do.plot

Logical value. If TRUE, a plot of the generated Lorenz system is shown. Before version 0.2.11, default value was TRUE; versions 0.2.11 and later use FALSE as default.

Details

The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equations defined as: $$\dot{x} = \sigma(y-x)$$ $$\dot{y} = \rho x-y-xz$$ $$\dot{z} = -\beta z + xy$$ The default selection for the system parameters (\(\sigma=10, \rho=28, \beta=8/3\)) is known to produce a deterministic chaotic time series.
