Advanced Series in Dynamical Systems - Vol. 15
BIFURCATION THEORY AND METHODS OF DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
by Luo Dingjun (Nanjing Normal University), Wang Xian (Nanjing University), Zhu Deming (East China Normal University) & Han Maoan (Shanghai Jiaotong University)
Dynamical bifurcation theory is concerned with the changes that occur in the global structure of dynamical systems as parameters are varied. This book makes recent research in bifurcation theory of dynamical systems accessible to researchers interested in this subject. In particular, the relevant results obtained by Chinese mathematicians are introduced as well as some of the works of the authors which may not be widely known. The focus is on the analytic approach to the theory and methods of bifurcations. The book prepares graduate students for further study in this area, and it serves as a ready reference for researchers in nonlinear sciences and applied mathematics.
