For a finite period of time, chaotic behaviour isn't completely discernable from periodic behaviour, because the possibility exists that the function may repeat itself at some future time. To identify chaos, one makes a judgment after enough time has elapsed to assume for practical purposes the function will not repeat. Distinctions are seen between a random variable, periodic variable, and chaotic variable in phase space and poincar\'{e} sections. \cite{TANGLEDTALE}
\subsection{Model of a Driven Pendulum}
\label{sec:modeling}
The driven pendulum exemplifies chaotic motion. In the angular coordinate $\theta$, the equation of motion of a driven pendulum is
\begin{center}
$\frac{d^2}{dt^2} = \frac{{\omega_0}^2}{I} sin(\theta) - \frac{{\alpha}}{I} \frac{d\theta}{dt} + \frac{f}{I} cos(\omega t + \phi)$.
\end{center}
Here, $\omega_0$ represents the natural frequency of the pedulum, also its resonant frequency. The system will respond most strongly to the driver at this frequency. $\alpha$ is a damping term -- this can take a variety of forms, and in the experiment of section \ref{sec:experiment} is produced by a neodymium magnet interacting with the metal wheel of the pendulum. $f$ is the forcing amplitude where $\omega$ is the forcing frequency, offset from the angular coordinate by a phase $\phi$. $I$ is the moment of inertia of the pendulum.
\section{Phase Space}
\label{sec:phasespace}
A 2-dimensional phase space is a useful environment in which to identify the chaos in the motion in a coordinate. For an oscillator, the convenient coordinate is its angular position $\theta$, with the angular velocity response $\theta^\prime$. In figure \ref{fig:model_periodic}, observe how a periodic variable can be identified in phase space.

\subsection{Poincar\'{e} Map}
A Poincar\'{e} section is a 2D phase space cross-section, in this case corresponding to the repetition of a certain period, such as the natural or driving period of a forced pendulum. One draws a map between each successive point to create a Poincar\'e map, which is a useful representation of a system's behaviour in phase space.
An undriven and undamped oscillator will always return to the same point after one period, so a Poincar\'e map sampled using the period corresponding to the oscillator's natural frequency will consist of a single dot. Figure \ref{fig:models_damped_driven} demonstrates a damped oscillator, which exhibits stable critical points where the velocity goes to zero. A driven oscillator's path orbits around these critical points but can be seen to jump between them in an unpredictable way along the position coordinate

\subsection{Chaotic Attractor}
Chaotic attractors can be observed when forcing interacts with damping in a system. A damped system that is not forced has critical points where the velocity converges to zero about some position. Under forced conditions, the velocity does not convergse to zero, but the motion produces orbits about these critical points in phase space, and we call these chaotic attractors. Poincar\'{e} first postulated that chaos would be exemplified by complicated paths that roughly follow one of these orbits (the apex) about these attractors. \cite{CHAOSAT50} Attractors are a primary identifying characteristic of chaos, and should be observable in the chaotic motion of the forced pendulum. \cite{CHAOSDYNAMICS}

Damping still plays an important role in this chaotic motion; figure \ref{model_driven_nodamp_phase} shows a driven pendulum with no damping, where the motion freely exhibits the effects of both the natural and forcing frequency, and becomes extremely complicated. The natural (un-driven) response of the pendulum is seen in the tall cirular strokes, which represent the pendulum's weight attempting to bring the pendulum to equilibrium. The driving frequency produces small-amplitude variations when the pendulum has a high angular speed and when the pendulum has a low angular speed, it can easily reverse the motion of the pendulum. The oscillator jumps around to many possible states, making it difficult to discern attractors. Chaotic attractors are much more clear when forcing interacts with damping in a system; figure \ref{fig:model_driven_phase} shows this very well.
Computer models were generated using the Chaos for Java program written by Brian Davies. \cite{CHAOSFORJAVA} The path is computed from the circle to the triangle.

\section{Modeling Chaos in a Driven Pendulum}
\label{sec:modeling}
In the angular coordinate $\theta$, the equation of motion of a driven simple pendulum is
\begin{center}
$\frac{d^2}{dt^2} = \frac{{\omega_0}^2}{I} sin(\theta) - \frac{{\alpha}}{I} \frac{d\theta}{dt} + \frac{f}{I} cos(\omega t + \phi)$.
\end{center}
Here, $\omega_0$ represents the natural frequency of the pedulum, also its resonant frequency. The system will respond most strongly to the driver at this frequency. $\alpha$ is a damping term -- this can take a variety of forms, and in the experiment of section \ref{sec:experiment} is produced by a neodymium magnet interacting with the metal wheel of the pendulum. $f$ is the forcing amplitude where $\omega$ is the forcing frequency, offset from the angular coordinate by a phase $\phi$. $I$ is the moment of inertia of the pendulum.
If there is no damping, observing the pendulum's natural frequency interacts with the driving frequency is straight-forward, for example in figure~\ref{fig:model_no_drag}. The path is traced from the circle to the triangle. The natural (un-driven) response of the pendulum is seen in the tall cirular strokes, which represent the pendulum's weight attempting to bring the pendulum to equilibrium. The driving frequency produces small-amplitude variations when the pendulum has a high angular speed and when the pendulum has a low angular speed, it can easily reverse the motion of the pendulum. This sensitivity is characteristic of chaotic motion.
