Local Bifurcations, Center Manifolds, and Normal Forms in Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems
Résumé
This book is an extension of different lectures given by the authors during many
years at the University of Nice, at the University of Stuttgart in 1990, and the Uni-
versity of Bordeaux in 2000 and 2001. Large parts of the first four chapters are of
master level and contain various examples and exercises, partly posed at exams.
However, the infinite-dimensional set-up in Chapter 2 requires several tools and
results from the theory of linear operators. A brief description of these tools and
results is given in Appendix
