Extracting qualitative dynamics from experimental data. (English) Zbl 0603.58040

We consider the notion of qualitative information and the practicalities of extracting it from experimental data. Our approach, based on a theorem of Takens, draws on ideas from the generalized theory of information known as singular system analysis due to Bertero, Pike and co-workers. We illustrate our technique with numerical data from the chaotic regime of the Lorenz model.
