The N-link pendulum: Embedding nonlinear dynamics into the multidimensional scaling method

This paper explores the use of multidimensional scaling for analyzing the dynamics of the N-link planar pendulum. Several integer- and fractional-order pendular systems are studied based on the time response and energy of the links. The dynamics get increasingly complex and chaotic with the number o...
