Workshop Description
The Department of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Delaware plans to host
a workshop on geometric methods in dynamical systems in June, 2004, as the second
part of a series of workshops held between Polish and American researchers with common
interests. The first workshop was held in July, 2002, at Jagiellonian University
in Krakow, Poland. The group of mathematicians involved share a common interest in
geometric and topological methods used to study dynamical systems. The methods of
interest do not require a gradient structure; they are widely applicable to continuous
and discrete dynamical systems and are generally robust with respect to perturbations.
The research has both theoretical and practical applications. It addresses the theory
of nonlinear dynamical systems as well as computational techniques for investigating real
dynamical systems.
