Pierre Collet (physicist)
Pierre Collet (* 1948 ) is a French mathematical physicist who studies statistical mechanics, stochastic processes and chaos theory.
Collet received his doctorate in 1978 under Jean-Pierre Eckmann at the University of Geneva ( Etude du modele hierarchique par le groupe de renormalization ). He is the research director of the CNRS at the École polytechnique .
He is known for the mathematically exact investigation of a number of model systems in statistical mechanics (hierarchical model) and chaos theory (path to chaos via period doubling bifurcations according to Mitchell Feigenbaum ).
He should not be confused with the bioinformatician at the University of Strasbourg Pierre Collet .
