DESCRIPTION:Speakers: André Botha (Unisa)\nAnalytical equations of motion
 \, in the form dxi ⁄ dt = fi(x\,t)\, are derived for a damped harmonical
 ly driven triple plane pendulum. This form of the equations clearly displa
 ys the nature of the non-linear coupling and provides a basis for physical
  interpretation. The equations also facilitate the derivation of the Jacob
 ian matrix in analytical form\, a result which is important for the accura
 te numerical computation of the Lyapunov exponents. It is shown that sets 
 of optimised parameters\, such as the lengths and masses of the pendulum\,
  may be derived by using the Nelder-Mead simplex optimisation algorithm. T
 his method gives precise control over the Lyapunov exponents and may be us
 eful in a wide variety of other non-linear applications\, such as those oc
 curring in biophysics and information technology (for secure communication
 ). As an example of the technique it is used to predict periodic and quasi
 -periodic orbits of the un-damped pendulum\, as well as its chaotic and hy
 perchaotic modes. The maximum positive Lyapunov exponents for the pendulum
  are found to vary from zero\, for periodic orbits\, to as high as ten for
  the optimised hyperchaotic modes. Numerical simulations\, coded in Python
 \, are used to visualise the results. \n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event
