Course objectives
The aim of the course is to present introduction to nonlinear dynamics of continuous and discrete models. Students will be able to explain one and multiparametric bifurcations and chaotic dynamics. Students should be able to illustrate mentioned nonlinear phenomena in models from various science fields (biology, biochemistry, physics, ecology, economy etc.)
Syllabus
  • Basic concepts: dynamical systems, nonlinear autonomous systems, parameter dependence, continuous bifurcations (bifurcation saddle-node, hysteresis, Hopf bifurcation, reduction to central manifold, multiparametric bifurcations), discrete bifurcations (fold, flip, period doubling and universality, deterministic chaos, Neimark-Sacker bifurcation), Poincaré section and bifurcations of cycles, chaos in continuous systems.
