Abstract

The course is designed as an introduction to the applied aspects of the modern theory of dynamical systems. A rigorous presentation of the theory of global bifurcations in multidimensional systems and its application to problems of biology will be given. The fundamentals of the dynamics of partial differential equations and the theory of dynamical systems under the action of random perturbations will be presented.
