Dynamical Systems V: Bifurcation Theory and Catastrophe Theory (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1994)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1994, 20 May 1999

Bifurcation theory and catastrophe theory are two highlights in the study of dynamical systems. Another highlight is celestial mechanics, as found in EMS-3. The current volume builds on the basic material given in EMS 1 and can be considered as a continuation of it. The volume is a survey, intended for readers with some background in dynamical systems, thus aiming at a higher level than Arnol'd's famous little book, "Catastrophe Theory".
