Outline and Purpose of the Course Dynamical systems represent general mathematical models such as differential equations for time-dependent phenomena and a mathematical field having originated in the work of the greatest mathematician in 19th century, Poincare. Dynamical systems theory provides tools to treat nonlinear phenomena such as bifurcations and chaos, and its application range is very wide since there are numerous time-dependent phenomena in natural and social sciences. This course provides fundamentals of dynamical systems theory with a special focus on differential equations.
Course Goals (1) To understand dynamics of differential equations and maps near neighborhoods of equilibria and fixed points
(2) To understand mechanisms for nonlinear phenomena such as bifurcations and chaos
(3) To master fundamental techniques for dynamical systems
Schedule and Contents Examples of Dynamical Systems, 1 time:
Classical dynamical systems given by differential equations and maps are considered and nonlinear phenomena occurred in numerical simulations of these systems are reviewed.
Introduction to Dynamical Systems, 5-6 times:
Fundamentals of differential equations are reviewed and elementary concepts such as Poincare maps, stability, dynamics of linear systems and invariant manifolds are explained.
Local Bifurcations, 4-5 times:
Bifurcations of equilibria and fixed points, center manifold reductions and normal forms are discussed.
Chaos, 3-4 times:
Horseshoe maps, homoclinic theorem and Melnikov's method are discussed.
Summary and learning achievement evaluation, 1 time:
A summary and supplements of this course are given and the learning achievement of students is evaluated.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Evaluation depends mainly on marks of mid-term examinations (20%) and final one (80%).
Course Requirements Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Prepare and review the lectures and solving the problems given on KULASIS or PANDA to understand the contents of the textbook and lectures.
