Dynamical System
Given a real global dynamical system (R, X, Φ) with X the phase space and Φ the evolution function,
a point x in X is called periodic with period t if there exists a t ≥ 0 so that
The smallest positive t with this property is called prime period of the point x.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
