Description: "This is a book on nonlinear dynamical systems and their bifurcations under parameter variation. It provides the reader with a solid basis in dynamical systems theory as well as explicit procedures for applying general mathematical results to particular problems. Special attention is given to efficient numerical implementations of the techniques developed. Several examples from recent research papers are used as illustrations." "The book is designed for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in applied mathematics as well as for PhD 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 previous editions while updating the context to incorporate recent theoretical and software developments and modern techniques for bifurcation analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
