Abstract: In terms of the chaos theory, the phase-space-reconstruction method has been employed to describe the multi-dimensional phase space for the time series of air pollution index (API) during the past 10 years in Lanzhou, northwest China. The mutual information and Cao method were used to determine the reconstruction parameters, and the characteristic quantities including the Lyapunov exponent and the correlation dimension were calculated respectively. As a result, the correlation dimensions were fractioned, and the maximum Lyapunov exponent (λ
1) > 0. It shows that these presented the obvious chaotic characteristics that resulted from the evolution of non-linear chaotic dynamic system in the time series of air pollution index over the past 10 years. In the meanwhile, three or even four main dynamic variables were discussed here that could effectively interpret the changes of air pollution index time series and their causes. Some reasonable preventive countermeasures were thus put forward. These findings might provide a scientific basis for probing further into the regional complexity and evolution of the time series of air pollution index.

Deterministic nonperiodic flow
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states, and systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.

Measuring the Strangeness of Strange Attractors
TL;DR: In this paper, the correlation exponent v is introduced as a characteristic measure of strange attractors which allows one to distinguish between deterministic chaos and random noise, and algorithms for extracting v from the time series of a single variable are proposed.
