Quasisensitivity
Quasisensitivity refers to a phenomenon in certain mathematical and computational systems where a small perturbation or change in the input can lead to a disproportionately large or qualitatively different output. This concept is particularly relevant in the study of dynamical systems, chaos theory, and the analysis of algorithms. Unlike outright instability, where small changes might cause a complete breakdown or divergence, quasisensitivity implies that the system's behavior, while altered, remains somewhat predictable or exhibits a pattern, albeit a different one.
The term is often used in contrast to simple sensitivity or insensitivity. A system that is highly
Applications of quasisensitivity can be found in various fields. In meteorology, for instance, slight initial atmospheric
