Nonlinear Oscillations, Dynamical Systems and Bifurcations of Vector Fields: Vol 42 (Applied Mathematical Sciences) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

This volume applies the techniques of dynamical systems and bifurcation theories to the study of nonlinear oscillations. Taking the cue from Poincare, the authors stress the geometrical and topological properties of solutions of differential equations and iterated maps. Numerous exercises, some of which require nontrivial algebraic manipulations and computer work, convey the important analytical underpinnings of problems in dynamical systems and help the reader develop an intuitive feel for the properties involved. In this fifth printing the authors have corrected further errors, oversights and updates.
