An '''Axiom A system''' is a [[dynamical system]] satisfying two conditions introduced by [[Stephen Smale]] in his 1967 paper on differentiable dynamical systems: the non-wandering set is [[hyperbolic dynamics|hyperbolic]], and the periodic points are dense in the non-wandering set. Axiom A systems admit a finite [[Spectral Decomposition|spectral decomposition]] into basic sets — attractors, repellers, and saddle-like sets — each of which is topologically transitive and can be encoded by a [[Markov Partitions|Markov partition]]. They were once believed to be generic among all dynamical systems, but the [[Newhouse phenomenon]] destroyed this hope, revealing that systems with infinitely many attractors are dense in certain regions. Axiom A remains the cleanest class of chaotic systems, but it is a cathedral in a wilderness of wilder dynamics.
