Handbook of Dynamical Systems: Volume 1B

by A. Katok (Editor), B. Hasselblatt (Editor)

Overview

This second half of Volume 1 of this Handbook follows Volume 1A, which was published in 2002. The contents of these two tightly integrated parts taken together come close to a realization of the program formulated in the introductory survey “Principal Structures” of Volume 1A.

The present volume contains surveys on subjects in four areas of dynamical systems: Hyperbolic dynamics, parabolic dynamics, ergodic theory and infinite-dimensional dynamical systems (partial differential equations).

. Written by experts in the field.
. The coverage of ergodic theory in these two parts of Volume 1 is considerably more broad and thorough than that provided in other existing sources.
. The final cluster of chapters discusses partial differential equations from the point of view of dynamical systems.
