Learning Outcomes
With the successful completeness of the course, students will:
- know the prerequisites for the onset of non linear dynamical behaviour in physicochemical systems
- be capable to study experimentally the temporal and spatiotemporal self-organisation of chemical reactions being far from the thermodynamic equilibrium
- describe the basic mechanism underlying else-organization in chemical, biochemical, electrochemical and population systems
- get familiar with classical models used to describe and predict the periodic and chaotic behaviour
- understand and apply the basic principle of the linear stability analysis of non linear 2-D dynamical systems and the basic principles of the bifurcation theory
- recognise different routes to chaos and use methods for the analysis and characterisation of chaotic time-series and strange attractors
- understand fractal objects and how tο calculate their dimension
General Competences
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Generate new research ideas
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
