Syfte

To give knowledge of and familiarity with concepts and methods from the theory of dynamical systems which are important in applications within almost all subjects in science and technology.

Mål

Kunskap och förståelse

För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden

• independently be able to explain different methods to describe, qualitatively or quantitatively, the solution sets of ordinary differential and difference equations.
• be able to explain basic bifurcation theory and its relevance in technological contexts.
• be able to explain the mathematical meaning of the concept chaotic behaviour and its relevance in technological contexts.

Färdighet och förmåga

För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden

• be able to choose and use methods appropriate to describe, qualitatively and quantitatively, the solution sets of ordinary differential and difference equations.
• be able to use bifurcation theory to qualitatively describe how dynamical systems taken from applications in science and technology depend on a parameter.
• be able independently to identify and describe chaotic behaviour in examples taken from the applications.
• be able to write Matlab and Maple programs to solve mathematical problems within the framework of the course.
• in writing and orally, with clear logic and proper terminology, be able to explain the solution to a mathematical problem within the course.
