Topics
Dynamical Systems are concerned with anything that moves. Through the centuries, mathematical approaches take us on a fascinating voyage from origins in celestial mechanics to contemporary struggles between chaos and determinism.
The three semester course, aimed at graduate students in the framework of the Berlin Mathematical School, will be mathematical in emphasis. Talented and advanced undergraduates, however, are also welcome to this demanding course, as are students from the applied fields, who plan to really progress to the heart of the matter.
Here is an outline of the first two semesters:
Semester 1:
- Flows and differential equations
- First integrals, separation of variables, and the pendulum
- Examples and applications
- Existence, uniqueness, and differentiability
- Linear autonomous systems
- Omega-limit sets and Lyapunov functions
- Planar flows
Semester 2:
- Autonomous and forced oscillations
- Torus flows
- Stable and unstable manifolds
- Shift dynamics
- Hyperbolic sets
- Center manifolds
- Normal forms
- Genericity and Takens embedding
Depending on preferences of participants, the third semester may address
current topics in finite-dimensional dynamics, or give an introduction to
infinite-dimensional dynamical system, including certain partial and delay
differential equations.
