Qualitative Theory of Planar Differential Systems
This book deals with systems of polynomial autonomous ordinary differential equations in two real variables. The emphasis is mainly qualitative, although attention is also given to more algebraic aspects as a thorough study of the center/focus problem and recent results on integrability. In the last two chapters the performant software tool P4 is introduced. From the start, differential systems are represented by vector fields enabling, in full strength, a dynamical systems approach. All essential notions, including invariant manifolds, normal forms, desingularization of singularities, index theory and limit cycles, are introduced and the main results are proved for smooth systems with the necessary specifications for analytic and polynomial systems.
Recent Trends in Dynamical Systems
This book presents the proceedings of a conference on dynamical systems held in honor of Jürgen Scheurle in January 2012. Through both original research papers and survey articles leading experts in the field offer overviews of the current state of the theory and its applications to mechanics and physics. In particular, the following aspects of the theory of dynamical systems are covered: - Stability and bifurcation - Geometric mechanics and control theory - Invariant manifolds, attractors and chaos - Fluid mechanics and elasticity - Perturbations and multiscale problems - Hamiltonian dynamics and KAM theory Researchers and graduate students in dynamical systems and related fields, including engineering, will benefit from the articles presented in this volume.
Canard Cycles and Center Manifolds
In this book, the ``canard phenomenon'' occurring in Van der Pol's equation $\epsilon \ddot x+(x^2+x)\dot x+x-a=0$ is studied. For sufficiently small $\epsilon >0$ and for decreasing $a$, the limit cycle created in a Hopf bifurcation at $a = 0$ stays of ``small size'' for a while before it very rapidly changes to ``big size'', representing the typical relaxation oscillation. The authors give a geometric explanation and proof of this phenomenon using foliations by center manifolds and blow-up of unfoldings as essential techniques. The method is general enough to be useful in the study of other singular perturbation problems.
Normal Forms, Bifurcations and Finiteness Problems in Differential Equations
Proceedings of the Nato Advanced Study Institute, held in Montreal, Canada, from 8 to 19 July 2002
EQUADIFF 2003
' This comprehensive volume contains the state of the art on ODE's and PDE's of different nature, functional differential equations, delay equations, and others, mostly from the dynamical systems point of view. A broad range of topics are treated through contributions by leading experts of their fields, presenting the most recent developments. A large variety of techniques are being used, stressing geometric, topological, ergodic and numerical aspects. The scope of the book is wide, ranging from pure mathematics to various applied fields. Examples of the latter are provided by subjects from earth and life sciences, classical mechanics and quantum-mechanics, among others. The proceedings have...
Equadiff 99 (In 2 Volumes) - Proceedings Of The International Conference On Differential Equations
This book is a compilation of high quality papers focussing on five major areas of active development in the wide field of differential equations: dynamical systems, infinite dimensions, global attractors and stability, computational aspects, and applications. It is a valuable reference for researchers in diverse disciplines, ranging from mathematics through physics, engineering, chemistry, nonlinear science to the life sciences.
Bifurcations of Planar Vector Fields
The book reports on recent work by the authors on the bifurcation structure of singular points of planar vector fields whose linear parts are nilpotent. The bifurcation diagrams of the most important codimension-three cases are studied in detail. The results presented reach the limits of what is currently known on the bifurcation theory of planar vector fields. While the treatment is geometric, special analytical tools using abelian integrals are needed, and are explicitly developed. The rescaling and normalization methods are improved for application here. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the elements of Bifurcation and Dynamical Systems Theory. The book is addressed to researchers and graduate students working in Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems, as well as anyone modelling complex multiparametric phenomena.
Canard Cycles
This book offers the first systematic account of canard cycles, an intriguing phenomenon in the study of ordinary differential equations. The canard cycles are treated in the general context of slow-fast families of two-dimensional vector fields. The central question of controlling the limit cycles is addressed in detail and strong results are presented with complete proofs. In particular, the book provides a detailed study of the structure of the transitions near the critical set of non-isolated singularities. This leads to precise results on the limit cycles and their bifurcations, including the so-called canard phenomenon and canard explosion. The book also provides a solid basis for the ...
