The convenience of badminton and the increase in badminton venues have led to growing complexity in public attention toward the sport, making nonlinear research methods an effective approach for studying the evolutionary dynamics of its popularity. The visibility graph algorithm is used to characterize badminton search volume as a dynamic behavioral representation of the badminton attention complex system, through which the evolutionary process and dynamical characteristics of this complex system are systematically investigated.The evolutionary process of the badminton attention complex system exhibits small-world and approximately scale-free network properties, coupled with chaotic dynamical behavior characteristics, ultimately manifesting as a deterministic nonlinear dynamical system governed by chaotic dynamics.
Keywords: Visibility graph, badminton venues, evolutionary dynamics, Complex System, Complex Network
