    Description

    This book presents the theory of dynamical systems with nonzero Lyapunov exponents, offering a rigorous mathematical foundation for deterministic chaos - the appearance of "chaotic" motions in pure deterministic dynamical systems. These ideas and methods are used in many areas of mathematics as well as in physics, biology, and engineering. Despite the substantial amount of research on the subject, there have been relatively few attempts to summarize and unify results in a single manuscript. This comprehensive book can be used as a reference or as a supplement to an advanced course on dynamical systems.

    • The book summarizes and unifies results of smooth ergodic theory, which is one of the core parts of the general dynamical system theory
    • Describes the theory of deterministic chaos
    • The book can be used as supporting material for an advanced course on dynamical systems

    Compositio Mathematica

    : Journal

    Compositio Mathematica is a prestigious, well-established journal publishing first-class research papers that traditionally focus on the mainstream of pure mathematics. Compositio Mathematica has a broad scope which includes the fields of algebra, number theory, topology, algebraic and differential geometry and (geometric) analysis. Papers on other topics are welcome if they are of broad interest. All contributions are required to meet high standards of quality and originality. The Journal has an international editorial board reflected in the journal content. Online access is free for all papers published 5 years ago or more. Papers published before 1997 are available from the NUMDAM website. Compositio is owned and published by non-profit organisations (the Foundation Compositio Mathematica and the London Mathematical Society) that use any surplus income from journal subscriptions to sponsor mathematics and mathematical research.

    Since 2008 EJAM surveys have been expanded to cover Applied and Industrial Mathematics. Coverage of the journal has been strengthened in probabilistic applications, while still focusing on those areas of applied mathematics inspired by real-world applications, and at the same time fostering the development of theoretical methods with a broad range of applicability. Survey papers contain reviews of emerging areas of mathematics, either in core areas or with relevance to users in industry and other disciplines.Research papers may be in any area of applied mathematics, with special emphasis on new mathematical ideas, relevant to modelling and analysis in modern science and technology, and the development of interesting mathematical methods of wide applicability.

    Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems

    : Journal

    Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems focuses on a rich variety of research areas which, although diverse, employ as common themes global dynamical methods. The journal provides a focus for this important and flourishing area of mathematics and brings together many major contributions in the field. The journal acts as a forum for central problems of dynamical systems and of interactions of dynamical systems with areas such as differential geometry, number theory, operator algebras, celestial and statistical mechanics, and biology.
