Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Chaos [Paperback]

Symmetries in dynamical systems, KAM theory and other perturbation theories , Infinite dimensional systems , Time series analysis and Numerical continuation and bifurcation analysis were the main topics of the December 1995 Dynamical Systems Conference held in Groningen in honour of Johann Bernoulli. They now form the core of this work which seeks to present the state of the art in various branches of the theory of dynamical systems. A number of articles have a survey character whereas others deal with recent results in current research. It contains interesting material for all members of the dynamical systems community, ranging from geometric and analytic aspects from a mathematical point of view to applications in various sciences.Symmetries in dynamical systems, KAM theory and other perturbation theories , Infinite dimensional systems , Time series analysis and Numerical continuation and bifurcation analysis were the main topics of the December 1995 Dynamical Systems Conference held in Groningen in honour of Johann Bernoulli.
