Elements of Applied Bifurcation Theory

From Reviews of the First Edition: "I know of no other book that so clearly explains the basic phenomena of bifurcation theory." -Mathematical Reviews

This book provides a student or researcher with a solid basis in nonlinear dynamical systems and their bifurcations, giving them the necessary understanding of the approaches, methods, results and terminology used in the modern applied mathematics literature. It covers the basic topics of the bifurcation theory and can help in composing a course on nonlinear dynamical systems or system theory. This new edition preserves the structure of the previous edition, while updating the context to incorporate recent theoretical and software developments, in particular new and improved numerical methods for bifurcation analysis.
