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:
- Preliminaries: some calculus in Banach space
- Flows - differential equations - iterations
- Lyapunov functions and limit sets
- Planar flows and Nietzsche's dwarf
- Flows on tori and the "devil's staircase"
- Stable and unstable manifolds
- Shift dynamics: coding "chaos"
- Hyperbolic structure and the "butterfly effect"
- Ergodicity
- Shadowing
- Center manifolds
- Singular perturbations
- Normal form theory
- Averaging and "invisible chaos"
- The beauty of symmetry breaking
- A zoo of local bifurcations
- Genericity
- Takens embedding: dynamics without a model
- Global bifurcations and topological invariants
- Scientific Understanding of pictures
Depending on preferences of participants, the third semester may alternatively give an introduction to infinite-dimensional dynamical system, including certain partial and delay differential equations.
