A group of double pendula non exhibiting chaotic behaviour, and one that does, all starting with exactly the same energy.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Does a chaotic system always behave chaotically?

Not really, as many chaotic systems have a subset of possible initial conditions that lead to a quasi-periodic motion. As an example, below are two sets (black and orange) of 20 double pendula each, all with the same initial energy, and each group starting with very similar initial conditions. The first group (black) spread out a little bit with time, but nearby initial conditions keeps evolving into nearby dynamics, which is typical of integrable systems.

On the other hand the pendula in the second group (orange) also starts with similar initial condition, but after a short transient evolve each very differently from each other, which is a mark of a chaotic system.
