Course content
1.Stability od hyperbolic and nonhyperbolic critical points. (Criteria about stability, asymptotic stability and instability based on linearization. Exponential stability.) 2.Liapunov stability of critical points. (Liapunov Theorem, Četaev Theorem, geometrical meaning of Liapunov functions.) 3.Investigation of stability of critical points in particular models. 4.Stable and unstable manifolds. (Existence of stable and unstable manifolds and their computing by means of power series.) 5.Local phase portraits near nonhyperbolic critical points. (In the presence of one zero eigenvalue and one nonzero eigenvalue, in the presence of purely imaginary eigenvalues.) 6.Center manifolds. (Existence of center manifolds and their computing by means of power series. Computing flow on center manifolds.) 7.Local bifurcations of planar dynamical systems. (Existence of bifurcations, bifurcation function, bifurcation equation, scalar equations on center manifolds, saddle-node bifurcation.) 8.Construction of local phase portraits of particular models. 9.Global bifurcations. (Examples of global bifurcations breaking a saddle connection, breaking a homoclinic loop.). 10.Periodic orbits. (Existence of periodic orbits, Poincaré-Bendixson Theorem, positively invariant sets, Bendixson's Criterion and Dulac's Criterion for the nonexistence of periodic orbits). 11.Stability of periodic orbits. (Poincaré map, orbital stability, instability and asymptotic stability, model of Van der Pol's oscillator.) 12.Investigation of stability of periodic orbits in particular models. 13.Hopf bifurcation. (Poincaré-Andronov-Hopf Theorem, bifurcation diagrams.)
