Comparison of ¶ sections

Another comparison we have carried out concerns a chaotic ¶ section computed by both methods. Using the same initial condition and A = 13 in both cases, we calculated tex2html_wrap_inline794 to tex2html_wrap_inline796 . We have plotted only the first 100 values in figure 6 for clarity. Note that the actual point positions calculated by both methods diverge from each other (only to be expected in a chaotic system), but that the underlying structure of the attractor is insensitive to the method of calculation.

As an aside, it is interesting to note that our approximation runs about 45 times faster than the standard numerical method.
