On Nonchaotic Behavior in Quadratic Systems.
M. Mencinger

For dissipative and conservative systems of quadratic ODEs in many researches concerning the chaotic behavior have already been done. They show that the simplest chaotic system must have at least 5 terms on the right hand side of the ODE. In the present article we consider the homogeneous quadratic systems which can be treated by algebraic tools. The family of homogeneous ODEs for which the corresponding algebra contains a two-dimensional subalgebra is tested for chaotic behavior. Using algebraic classification we show that there is no chaos in this family.
Key words: homogeneous, quadratic systems of ODEs, nonassociative algebra, nonchaotic behavior
