Alternative method to find orbits in chaotic systems

Abstract

We present here a new method which applies well ordered symbolic dynamics to find unstable periodic and non-periodic orbits in a chaotic system. The method is simple and efficient and has been successfully applied to a number of different systems such as the Hénon map, disk billiards, stadium billiard, wedge billiard, diamagnetic Kepler problem, colinear Helium atom and systems with attracting potentials. The method seems to be better than earlier applied methods.
