Bifurcation and Chaos in Complex Systems

The book presents the recent achievements on bifurcation studies of nonlinear dynamical systems. The contributing authors. The first two chapters deal with the smooth and non-smooth dynamical systems. The cell mapping methods are presented for global bifurcations in stochastic and deterministic, nonlinear dynamical systems in the third chapter. The fourth chapter studies bifurcations and chaos in time-varying, parametrically excited nonlinear dynamical systems. The fifth chapter presents bifurcation of modal interactions in distributed, nonlinear, dynamical systems of circular thin of Karman plates. The theories, the methods and results are in the wide range of disciplines. This book can be accepted as a reference for mathematicians, scientists, engineers and graduate students conducting research in nonlinear dynamical systems.
