Detecting the presence of chaos in a dynamical system is an important problem that is solved by measuring the largest Lyapunov exponent. Lyapunov exponents quantify the exponential divergence of initially close state-space trajectories and estimate …

In its June 2008 issue, the editors of Chaos announced a new feature, "Controversial Topics in Nonlinear Dynamics". The first controversial topic to be aired is "Is the Normal Heart Rate Chaotic?". This project provides data to explore this question.
