Vladimir Arnold was a Ukrainian-born mathematician who won a Wolf prize for his work on dynamical systems, differential equations and singularity theory. He was born in Odessa, in the USSR (now Odesa, Ukraine), on 12 June 1937 and died in Paris on 3 June 2010. Arnold's cat map, a chaotic map from the torus into itself that he illustrated in the 1960s with an image of a cat, is the best-known example of his work on chaos and dynamics.

The works of Vladimir Arnold and Andrey Kolmogorov established that if f is a multivariate continuous function, then f can be written as a finite composition of continuous functions of a single variable and the binary operation of addition.

In mathematics, Arnold's cat map is a chaotic map from the torus into itself, named after Vladimir Arnold, who demonstrated its effects in the 1960s using an image of a cat, hence the name.
