Abstract

This course aims to provide the student with both a solid basis in dynamical systems theory, theory of local bifurcations and the necessary understanding of the approaches, methods, results, and terminology used in the modern applied mathematics literature. A key theme is that of topological equivalence and codimension, or "what one may expect to occur in the dynamics with a given number of parameters allowed to vary". Actually, the course covered is sufficient to perform quite complex bifurcation analysis of dynamical systems arising in applications. The course examines the basic topics of bifurcation theory and could be used to compose in future a course on nonlinear dynamical systems or systems theory. Certain classical results, such as Andronov-Hopf and homoclinic bifurcation in two-dimensional systems, are presented in details, including self-contained proofs. For more complex topics of the theory, such as homoclinic bifurcations in more than two dimensions and two-parameter local bifurcations, we try to make clear the relevant geometrical ideas behind the proofs but only sketch them or, sometimes, discuss and illustrate the results but give only references of where to find the proofs. This approach, we hope, makes the course important for a wide audience and keeps it relatively short and able to be browsed. We also present several recent theoretical results concerning, in particular, bifurcations of homoclinic orbits to nonhyperbolic equilibria and one-parameter bifurcations of limit cycles in systems with reflectional symmetry. These results are hardly covered in standard graduate-level textbooks but seem to be important in applications. In this course we try to provide the student with explicit procedures for application of general mathematical theorems to particular research problems. Special attention is given to numerical implementation of the developed techniques. Several examples, mainly from mathematical biology, are used as illustrations.
