Book Description
This book is designed as an introduction into what I call 'abstract' Topological Dynamics (TO): the study of topological transformation groups with respect to problems that can be traced back to the qualitative theory of differential equa is in the tradition of the books [GH] and [EW. The title tions. So this book (,Elements . . . ' rather than 'Introduction . . . ') does not mean that this book should be compared, either in scope or in (intended) impact, with the 'Ele ments' of Euclid or Bourbaki. Instead, it reflects the choice and organisation of the material in this book: elementary and basic (but sufficient to understand recent research papers in this field). There are still many challenging prob lems waiting for a solution, and especially among general topologists there is a growing interest in this direction. However, the technical inaccessability of many research papers makes it almost impossible for an outsider to under stand what is going on. To a large extent, this inaccessability is caused by the lack of a good and systematic exposition of the fundamental methods and techniques of abstract TO. This book is an attempt to fill this gap. The guiding principle for the organization of the material in this book has been the exposition of methods and techniques rather than a discussion of the leading problems and their solutions. though the latter are certainly not neglected: they are used as a motivation wherever possible.

Book Description
Elements of Differentiable Dynamics and Bifurcation Theory provides an introduction to differentiable dynamics, with emphasis on bifurcation theory and hyperbolicity that is essential for the understanding of complicated time evolutions occurring in nature. This book discusses the differentiable dynamics, vector fields, fixed points and periodic orbits, and stable and unstable manifolds. The bifurcations of fixed points of a map and periodic orbits, case of semiflows, and saddle-node and Hopf bifurcation are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the persistence of normally hyperbolic manifolds, hyperbolic sets, homoclinic and heteroclinic intersections, and global bifurcations. This publication is suitable for mathematicians and mathematically inclined students of the natural sciences.

Book Description
Elements of Analytical Dynamics deals with dynamics, which studies the relationship between motion of material bodies and the forces acting on them. This book is a compilation of lectures given by the author at the Georgia and Institute of Technology and formed a part of a course in Topological Dynamics. The book begins by discussing the notions of space and time and their basic properties. It then discusses the Hamilton-Jacobi theory and Hamilton's principle and first integrals. The text concludes with a discussion on Jacobi's geometric interpretation of conservative systems. This book will be of direct use to graduate students of Mathematics with minimal background in Theoretical Mechanics.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
This Element presents one of the most recent developments in network science in a highly accessible style. This Element will be of interest to interdisciplinary scientists working in network science, in addition to mathematicians working in discrete topology and geometry and physicists working in quantum gravity.

Book Description
maps whose topological entropy is equal to zero (i.e., maps that have only cyeles of pe 2 riods 1,2,2 , ... ) are studied in detail and elassified. Various topological aspects of the dynamics of unimodal maps are studied in Chap ter 5. We analyze the distinctive features of the limiting behavior of trajectories of smooth maps. In particular, for some elasses of smooth maps, we establish theorems on the number of sinks and study the problem of existence of wandering intervals. In Chapter 6, for a broad elass of maps, we prove that almost all points (with respect to the Lebesgue measure) are attracted by the same sink. Our attention is mainly focused on the problem of existence of an invariant measure absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We also study the problem of Lyapunov stability of dynamical systems and determine the measures of repelling and attracting invariant sets. The problem of stability of separate trajectories under perturbations of maps and the problem of structural stability of dynamical systems as a whole are discussed in Chap ter 7. In Chapter 8, we study one-parameter families of maps. We analyze bifurcations of periodic trajectories and properties of the set of bifurcation values of the parameter, in eluding universal properties such as Feigenbaum universality.

Book Description
This book stems from lectures that were delivered at the three-week Advanced Instructional School on Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems held at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, from 4–23 December 2017, with the support of the National Centre for Mathematics, National Board for Higher Mathematics, Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. The book discusses various aspects of dynamical systems. Each chapter of this book specializes in one aspect of dynamical systems and thus begins at an elementary level and goes on to cover fairly advanced material. The book helps researchers be familiar with and navigate through different parts of ergodic theory and dynamical systems.
