🌀 Double Pendulum: Chaos, Lyapunov Divergence and Normal Modes (2D)
2D companion of the 3D double pendulum: exact Lagrangian dynamics integrated with RK4, a twin pendulum started 1e-6 rad apart to measure the divergence rate, angle and phase plots, energy budget and the small-angle normal-mode frequencies.
