Overview

Dynamical Systems compiles the lectures and contributed papers read at the International Symposium on Dynamical Systems held at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida on March 24-26, 1976.

Topics Covered

This book discusses the principle of exchange of stability; weak-invariance and rest points in control systems; local controllability in nonlinear systems; and unitary treatment of various types of systems in stability-theory. The optimization of structural geometry; dispersal manifolds in partial differential games; remarks on existence theorems for Pareto optimality; and stability of solutions bifurcating from steady or periodic solutions are also elaborated. This compilation likewise covers the linear neutral functional differential equations on a Banach space; radiation reaction in electrodynamics; and buckling of cylindrical shells with small curvature.

Intended Audience

This publication is beneficial to students and researchers working on dynamical systems.
