Abstract

This new edition has been expanded to contain an introduction to areas of current importance such as bifurcation, structural stability and chaotic behavior. Other topics include linearization, perturbation theory, subharmonics, stability, the existence of limit cycles, and Poincare maps. The text is concerned with practical applications and includes over 400 examples and exercises."
