In common usage, "chaos" means "a state of disorder".
[7] However, in chaos theory, the term is defined more precisely. Although there is no universally accepted mathematical definition of chaos, a commonly used definition says that, for a dynamical system to be classified as chaotic, it must have the following properties:[8]
it must be
sensitive to initial conditions
;
it must be
topologically mixing
; and
its
periodic orbits must be dense
.
The requirement for sensitive dependence on initial conditions implies that there is a set of initial conditions of positive measure which do not converge to a cycle of any length.
