The Lorenz system is one of the earliest studied examples of a system of differential equations that exhibits chaotic behavior, such as bifurcations, attractors, and sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The differential equations read:
$$ \frac{dx}{dt} = \sigma(y-x) $$$$ \frac{dy}{dt} = x(\rho-z) - y $$$$ \frac{dz}{dt} = xy - \beta z $$The solution vector is $[x(t),y(t),z(t)]$ and $\sigma$, $\rho$, and $\beta$ are parameters that govern the behavior of the solutions.
Write a function lorenz_derivs that works with scipy.integrate.odeint and computes the derivatives for this system.
In [4]:
def lorentz_derivs(yvec, t, sigma, rho, beta):
"""Compute the the derivatives for the Lorentz system at yvec(t)."""
x = yvec[0]
y = yvec[1]
z = yvec[2]
dx = sigma*(y - x)
dy = x*(rho - z) - y
dz = x*y - beta*z

Write a function solve_lorenz that solves the Lorenz system above for a particular initial condition $[x(0),y(0),z(0)]$. Your function should return a tuple of the solution array and time array.
