Relativistic Chaotic Motion Explorer

Live Script exploring chaos in relativistic mechanics with a quartic potential in two dimensions.

This educational Live Script explores relativistic mechanics with a harmonic plus quartic anisotropic two-dimensional potential. It illustrates how to perform accurate numerical integrationof the equations of motion and how to make a Poincare section to identify periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic motion following Ref[1].

This script may interest students and instructors in physics and related fields. 'Try this' suggestions, coding challenges, hyperlinks, and references are included for further exploration. Additional educational Live Scripts by the author are here. Those specifically concerned with relativistic motion are listed in Ref[2-3].
