Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems
by Gerald Teschl
Publisher: Universitaet Wien 2009
Number of pages: 297
Description:
This book provides an introduction to ordinary differential equations and dynamical systems. We start with some simple examples of explicitly solvable equations. Then we prove the fundamental results concerning the initial value problem: existence, uniqueness, extensibility, dependence on initial conditions. Furthermore we consider linear equations, the Floquet theorem, and the autonomous linear flow.

Mathematical Principles of Dynamic Systems and the Foundations of Quantum Physicsby Eric Tesse - arXiv
This article will take up the question of what underlies the quantum formalism, whether it can be derived from simpler mathematical structures, and if so, what physical properties a system must possess in order for the formalism to hold.
