Description
This paper investigates the Chaos phenomena in nonlinear psychical systems described by differential equations. A prototypical system is the Duffing oscillator, described by the nonlinear second order differential equation which presents a mathematical model of the motion performed by a plane pendulum under a periodic external force. By using numerical and phase space analysis, the transition from periodic to chaotic behavior (and vice versa) is analyzed.
