I am in the process of writing a lecture out for my Graduate modeling class I teach. I normally don't write lectures out in LaTex or use PDF's because I write on the dry erase board, but if anyone is interested I wouldn't mind spending the time to type out some notes on the topic.

The topic would include all the title says, with problems, solutions, gradient, phase plots and MATLAB code to solve odes. Thanks, and if this is not acceptable please delete and let me know admins.

1. What are dynamical systems?

Dynamical systems are mathematical models used to describe the behavior of a system over time. They involve a set of equations that represent the relationships between the variables of the system and how they change over time.

2. What is bifurcation in dynamical systems?

Bifurcation refers to the point at which a small change in a system's parameters or initial conditions can lead to a significant change in the behavior of the system. It is often associated with the emergence of new patterns or behaviors in the system.

3. What are stable manifolds in dynamical systems?

Stable manifolds are geometric objects that represent the set of points in a dynamical system that converge to a stable equilibrium point. They provide insight into the long-term behavior of a system and help to identify regions of stability and instability.

4. What are Hamiltonian systems?

Hamiltonian systems are a special type of dynamical system that follows Hamilton's equations, which describe the evolution of a system's state over time. They are commonly used to model physical systems such as celestial mechanics and fluid dynamics.

5. Why is gathering interest in dynamical systems important?

Gathering interest in dynamical systems is important because they have a wide range of applications in various fields, including physics, biology, and economics. Studying these systems can lead to a better understanding of complex phenomena and help to make predictions about their behavior. Additionally, dynamical systems theory has practical applications in engineering and control systems.
