Layek G. An Introduction to Dynamical Systems and Chaos 2ed 2024 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This book discusses continuous and discrete nonlinear systems in systematic and sequential approaches. The unique feature of the book is its mathematical theories on flow bifurcations, nonlinear oscillations, Lie symmetry analysis of nonlinear systems, chaos theory, routes to chaos and multistable coexisting attractors. The logically structured content and sequential orientation provide readers with a global overview of the topic. A systematic mathematical approach has been adopted, featuring a multitude of detailed worked-out examples alongside comprehensive exercises. The book is useful for courses in dynamical systems and chaos and nonlinear dynamics for advanced undergraduate, graduate and research students in mathematics, physics and engineering. The second edition of the book is thoroughly revised and includes several new topics: center manifold reduction, quasi-periodic oscillations, Bogdanov–Takens, period-bubbling and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations, and dynamics on circle. The organized structures in bi-parameter plane for transitional and chaotic regimes are new active research interest and explored thoroughly. The connections of complex chaotic attractors with fractals cascades are explored in many physical systems. Chaotic attractors may attain multiple scaling factors and show scale invariance property. Finally, the ideas of multifractals and global spectrum for quantifying inhomogeneous chaotic attractors are discussed
