TITLE: What could be some applications of Chaos Theory in Computer Science?
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: I am a Computer Science student. While going through some random maths topics I came across Chaos Theory. I wanted to know if there are any applications of it in CS.
I tried searching on the internet about this but ended up only with this and this.
But are there any other domains of computer science where this theory could be applied ?
Please help!

REPLY [3 votes]: I think the most fascinating account of chaos in computer science I have read comes when you analyze the attempted solutions to NP problems. 
Here's a link that explains how the "hardness" of a Sudoku is related to chaotic behavior of solutions
