SYMMETRY AND PERTURBATION THEORY
Proceedings of the International Conference on SPT 2004
Cala Gonone, Sardinia, Italy 30 May - 6 June 2004

edited by Giuseppe Gaeta (Università di Milano, Italy), Barbara Prinari (Università di Lecce, Italy), Stefan Rauch-Wojciechowski (Linkoeping University, Sweden) & Susanna Terracini (Università di Milano-Bicocca, Italy)

This proceedings volume is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on SPT2004 focusing on symmetry, perturbation theory, and integrability.

The book provides an updated overview of the recent developments in the various different fields of nonlinear dynamics, covering both theory and applications. Special emphasis is given to algebraic and geometric integrability, solutions to the N-body problem of the “choreography” type, geometry and symmetry of dynamical systems, integrable evolution equations, various different perturbation theories, and bifurcation analysis.

The contributors to this volume include some of the leading scientists in the field, among them: I Anderson, D Bambusi, S Benenti, S Bolotin, M Fels, W Y Hsiang, V Matveev, A V Mikhailov, P J Olver, G Pucacco, G Sartori, M A Teixeira, S Terracini, F Verhulst and I Yehorchenko.


Contents:

  • Parametric Excitation in Nonlinear Dynamics (T Bakri)
