Features: This book summarizes the author's work in this field over the past decade and is suitable for researchers, undergraduate and graduate students in molecular physics, molecular spectroscopy, theoretical physics, and chemical physics. It systematically introduces the application of Lie algebra and the coset space representation method of Lie groups to study the nonlinear dynamical properties of high-excited vibrational states of molecules. The book also covers fundamental knowledge of nonlinear dynamics, such as chaos, fractals, quasi-periodicity, resonance, and Lyapunov exponents, as well as their applications in the study of molecular high-excited vibrational dynamics.
