Elements of Applied Bifurcation Theory (2nd ed.)

The favorable reaction to the ?rst edition of this book con?rmed that the publication of such an application-oriented text on bifurcation theory of dynamical systems was well timed. The selected topics indeed cover - jor practical issues of applying the bifurcation theory to ?nite-dimensional problems. This new edition preserves the structure of the ?rst edition while updating the context to incorporate recent theoretical developments, in particular, new and improved numerical methods for bifurc
