Abstract
Dynamical systems are crucial for defining our comprehension of the physical world, offering a robust structure for examining and representing intricate occurrences. The exploration of dynamical systems in physics traces back to the initial developments of classical mechanics by Newton and Lagrange. Over time, this framework has developed and grown to encompass a broad array of physical phenomena, ranging from the movement of astronomical objects to the actions of subatomic particles. The close relationship between dynamical systems and physical principles has inspired the study and improvement of this mathematical field. This paper delves into the diverse applications of dynamical systems in physics, emphasizing the research background, methodology, main discoveries, and wider ramifications. This study tries to offer a thorough summary of the diverse impacts of dynamical systems on the area of physics by combining several research papers. By utilizing dynamical systems, researchers have gained a deeper understanding of the fundamental order that governs complex dynamics, paving the way for improved predictions, innovative technologies, and a deeper understanding of the underlying principles that govern the universe.
