Discrete Dynamical Systems
by Arild Wikan
Publisher: Bookboon 2013
ISBN-13: 9788740303278
Number of pages: 254
Description:
This book covers important topics like stability, hyperbolicity, bifurcation theory and chaos, topics which are essential in order to understand the fascinating behavior of nonlinear discrete dynamical systems. The theory is illuminated by several examples and exercises, many of them taken from population dynamical studies. Solution methods of linear systems as well as solution methods of discrete optimization (control) problems are also included.
