Nonlinear Oscillations, Dynamical Systems, and Bifurcations of Vector Fields

by Philip Holmes and John Guckenheimer

Book Overview

An application of the techniques of dynamical systems and bifurcation theories to the study of nonlinear oscillations. Taking their cue from Poincare, the authors stress the geometrical and topological properties of solutions of differential equations and iterated maps. Numerous exercises, some of which require nontrivial algebraic manipulations and computer work, convey the important analytical underpinnings of problems in dynamical systems and help...
