A sample solution in the Lorenz attractor when ρ = 28, σ = 10, and β = 8/3
The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equation (the Lorenz equations) first studied by Edward Lorenz.
It is notable for having chaotic solutions for certain parameter values and initial conditions.
In particular, the Lorenz attractor is a set of chaotic solutions of the Lorenz system which, when plotted, resemble a butterfly or figure eight.
