Nonlinear dynamics of reservoir computing: Theory, realization, and application

This editorial provides an overview of the Focus Issue on "Nonlinear Dynamics of Reservoir Computing: Theory, Realization and Application" published in Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science. We highlight the diverse contributions that bridge the gap between the fundamental theory of dynamical systems and the practical implementation of reservoir computing. The collection explores novel theoretical frameworks, innovative hardware substrates, and cutting-edge applications in forecasting, denoising, and control.
