Presenting the contents of its authors' graduate courses in non-linear dynamical systems, this volume aims at researchers who wish to be acquainted with the more theoretical and fundamental subjects in non-linear dynamics and is designed to link the popular literature with research papers and monographs.
All of the subjects covered in this book are extensively dealt with and presented in a pedagogic form. These include the presentation of an environment for the route to chaos by quasi-periodicity (which is related to the Landau-Lifschitz and Ruelle-Takens scenario's concerning the onset of turbulence); the theories of 1-dimensional dynamics, singularities in planar vector fields, and quasi-periodicity in dissipative systems.
Preface. 1. Introduction to dynamical systems (H.W. Broer). 2. Genericity and structural stability (H.W. Broer and F. Dumortier). 3. Bifurcations (F. Takens). 4. A family of quasi-periodic attractors (H.W. Broer). 5. Chaos (F. Takens). 6. Interval maps (S.J. v. Strien). 7. Local study of planar vector fields: singularities and their unfoldings (F. Dumortier). 8. The thermodynamic formalism (F. Takens). 9. Conservative dynamical systems (H.W. Broer). Subject index.
