The Poincaré map takes the point <math>x</math> in the Poincaré section <math>S</math> from <math>x</math> to <math>x'</math> and from <math>x'</math> to <math>x''</math>. | The Poincaré map takes the point <math>x</math> in the Poincaré section <math>S</math> from <math>x</math> to <math>x'</math> and from <math>x'</math> to <math>x''</math>. | ||
Note how the Poincaré section cuts across the same integral curve several times, and the Poincaré map takes values on the intersection of the integral curve with the Poincaré section. |
