catastrophe theory
Catastrophe theory is a mathematical framework that studies sudden, and often unexpected, changes or discontinuities in systems. It examines how small changes in inputs can lead to large and abrupt shifts in outputs, enabling the understanding of various phenomena like natural disasters, social behavior, and economic crises.
