Description

During the past three decades, the
development of nonlinear analysis, dynamical
systems and their applications to science
and engineering has stimulated renewed
enthusiasm for the theory of Ordinary
Differential Equations (ODE).
This useful book, which is based on the
lecture notes of a well-received graduate
course, emphasizes both theory and
applications, taking numerous examples
from physics and biology to illustrate the
application of ODE theory and techniques.
Written in a straightforward and easily
accessible style, this volume presents
dynamical systems in the spirit of nonlinear
analysis to readers at a graduate level and
serves both as a textbook and as a valuable
resource for researchers.
This new edition contains corrections
and suggestions from the various readers
and users. A new chapter on Monotone
Dynamical Systems is added to take into
account the new developments in ordinary
differential equations and dynamical systems.
