Abstract :
Defines the onset of chaos in a given dynamical system and expresses the necessary and sufficient conditions as a criterion for the onset. The algebra required both in obtaining the generating power series in their shuffle product together with the two limits all can be done on a computer with a symbolic language. The following symbolic languages can be used: PL/I, REDUCE, MACSYMA, and LISP. The criterion, which is computer-algebraic, can be utilized to characterize the physical parameters´ ranges for which chaotic regimes will take place and hence can be used in designing nonlinear dynamical system to avoid such regimes
