INSITE—A software toolkit for the analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems

An integrated software toolkit for the analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems is introduced. This user-friendly, graphically oriented collection of interactive programs includes software that calculates and displays trajectories, bifurcation diagrams, and two-dimensional phase portraits. Also included are programs that locate periodic solutions, calculate and display invariant manifolds of two-dimensional Poincaré maps, as well as compute Lyapunov exponents, Lyapunov dimension, fractal dimension, information dimension, and correlation dimension. The toolkit runs under both the UNIX and PC-DOS operating systems.
