My research in Chaos and Symmetries in nonlinear optical systems

Predrag Stojkov Chaos and Symmetries in
nonlinear optical systems

Research performed while I was on my master degree studies in Institute of Physics, (PO Box 57, 11001 Belgrade, Yugoslavia)
Advisor and colaborator: M.R.Belic
Under the guidance and with the collaboration of M. Beli\'c, I have performed numerical and elementary symbolical research in chaos (two of my published papers are in that field), and on recognizing hidden symmetry properties of certain chaotic systems (non-linear optical systems) and the role of those symmetries in their's partial solubility (other two publications). These two research projects were performed before I came to Brown, but they initiated my general interest into the interplay of ordered and chaotic aspects of complex phenomena.
