Abstract
The temporal and spatial behavior of a system can be predicted if initial conditions are known. This task is one of the most important problems in the natural sciences. It amounts to finding a law that enables us to define the future state of the system at a time t > t 0 when given some information on the system at the initial time t 0. Depending on the complexity of the system, this law can be deterministic or probabilistic, and it can describe either the temporal or the spatio-temporal evolution of the system.

Notes
- 1.
The commonly used term ‘discrete map’ is not entirely appropriate since a map is usually given on a continuous set of states and only time moments form a discrete set.
