Yuri A. Kuznetsov, Elements of Applied Bifurcation Theory, 2nd Edition, Springer, 1998, 591 pages

This is a book on nonlinear dynamical systems and their bifurcations under parameter variation. It provides the reader with a solid basis in dynamical systems theory, as well as explicit procedures for application of general mathematical results to particular problems. Special attention is given to efficient numerical implementations of the developed techniques. Several examples from recent research papers are used as illustrations. The book is designed for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in applied mathematics, as well as for Ph.D. students and researchers in physics, biology, engineering, and economics who use dynamical systems as model tools in their studies. A moderate mathematical background is assumed, and whenever possible, only elementary mathematical tools are used.
