In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, a double pendulum, also known as a chaotic pendulum, is a pendulum with another pendulum attached to its end, forming a simple physical system that exhibits rich dynamic behavior with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions.^[1] The motion of a double pendulum is governed by a pair of coupled ordinary differential equations and is chaotic.
