Providing readers with a solid basis in dynamical systems theory, as well as explicit procedures for application of general mathematical results to particular problems, the focus here is on efficient numerical implementations of the developed techniques. The book is designed for advanced undergraduates or graduates in applied mathematics, as well as for Ph.D. students and researchers in physics, biology, engineering, and economics who use dynamical systems as model tools in their studies. A moderate mathematical background is assumed, and, whenever possible, only elementary mathematical tools are used. This new edition preserves the structure of the first while updating the context to incorporate recent theoretical developments, in particular new and improved numerical methods for bifurcation analysis.

This is a book on nonlinear dynamical systems and their bifurcations under parameter variation. It provides a reader with a solid basis in dynamical systems theory, as well as explicit procedures for application of general mathematical results to particular problems. Special attention is given to efficient numerical implementations of the developed techniques. Several examples from recent research papers are used as illustrations.

This new edition preserves the structure of the previous editions, while updating the context to incorporate recent theoretical and software developments and modern techniques for bifurcation analysis. Reviews of earlier editions: "I know of no other book that so clearly explains the basic phenomena of bifurcation theory." - Math Reviews "The book is a fine addition to the dynamical systems literature. It is good to see, in our modern rush to quick publication, that we, as a mathematical community, still have time to bring together, and in such a readable and considered form, the important results on our subject." - Bulletin of the AMS "It is both a toolkit and a primer" - UK Nonlinear News

From the reviews of the third edition:
"In the third edition of this textbook, the material again has been slightly extended while the main structure of the book was kept. ... the clear structure of the book allows applied scientists to use it as a reference book. ... Kuznetsov’s book on applied bifurcation theory is still very useful both as a textbook and as a reference work for researchers from the natural sciences, engineering or economics." (Jörg Härterich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1082, 2006)
“This book deals with the theory of dynamical systems relevant for applications. The material is presented in a systematic and very readable form. It covers recent developments in bifurcation theory, with special attention to efficient numerical implementations. The text aims at an audience of graduate and Ph.D. students in applied mathematics, and researchers in science and engineering, who use dynamical systems and bifurcation analysis as a tool. Each chapter contains useful examples and many illustrations.” (Dirk Roose, Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, 2007)

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The years that have passed since the publication of the first edition of this book proved that the basic principles used to select and present the material made sense. The idea was to write a simple text that could serve as a seri ous introduction to the subject. Of course, the meaning of 'simplicity' varies from person to person and from country to country. The word 'introduction' contains even more ambiguity. To start reading this book, only a moder ate knowledge of linear algebra and calculus is required. Other preliminaries, qualified as 'elementary' in modern mathematics, are explicitly formulated in the book. These include the Fredholm Alternative for linear systems and the multidimensional Implicit Function Theorem. Using these very limited tools, a framewo:k of notions, results, and methods is gradually built that allows one to read (and possibly write) scientific papers on bifurcations of nonlinear dynamical systems. Among other things, progress in the sciences means that mathematical results and methods that once were new become standard and routinely used by the research and development community. Hopefully, this edition of the book will contribute to this process. The book's structure has been kept intact. Most of the changes introduced reflect recent theoretical and software developments in which the author was involved. Important changes in the third edition can be summarized as follows. A new section devoted to the fold-flip bifurcation for maps has appeared in Chapter 9. 660 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9780387219066
