Unstable Systems Database: A New Tool for Students, Teachers and Scientists

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 210))

Abstract

The contribution presents a starting project of a site focused on unstable systems. It is a web-based database in the bilingual version (ENG/CZ) which can be used as an information database for models of unstable processes. The site contains mathematical models of such systems including their simulation files together with basic information about stability of dynamical systems. The paper outlines motivation for development of this database, presents its basic structure and discusses several models from the site. Areas of prospective usage are also suggested together with possible directions of further development of this project.
