Fundamental concepts and definitions in the stability theory of deterministic systems. Classification of systems and stability criteria. Nonlinear behaviour, static and dynamic bifurcations, and catastrophes. Secondary bifurcations and imperfection sensitivity. Hopf bifurcations, and introduction to chaos.
As printed in the 1991–92 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
