' This comprehensive volume contains the state of the art on ODE's and PDE's of different nature, functional differential equations, delay equations, and others, mostly from the dynamical systems point of view. A broad range of topics are treated through contributions by leading experts of their fields, presenting the most recent developments. A large variety of techniques are being used, stressing geometric, topological, ergodic and numerical aspects. The scope of the book is wide, ranging from pure mathematics to various applied fields. Examples of the latter are provided by subjects from earth and life sciences, classical mechanics and quantum-mechanics, among others. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings) • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings) • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences Contents: Computational Aspects of Differential Equations and ApplicationsWater WavesTopological and Variational MethodsQualitative Theory of Nonlinear Parabolic and Elliptic EquationsAround Hilbert's 16th ProblemNavier–Stokes Equations and Reaction Diffusion EquationsHyperbolic Dynamics and BeyondSymmetry and MechanicsShock Waves and Conservation LawsNonlinear Elliptic Partial Differential EquationsAlgebraic Aspects and Optimisation in Dynamical SystemsCase Studies in Theoretical Interpretation of Numerical ExperimentsInfinite-Dimensional DynamicsQuasiperiodicityDelay EquationsWave Stability and Pattern FormationNonautonomous DynamicsNormal Forms and Invariant ManifoldsSingular PerturbationsDifferential Geometric Foliations and FlowsHomoclinic and Heteroclinic DynamicsMathematical Aspects of Celestical Mechanics Readership: Graduate students and researchers in mathematics, especially in ODE and PDE areas.

This book deals with systems of polynomial autonomous ordinary differential equations in two real variables. The emphasis is mainly qualitative, although attention is also given to more algebraic aspects as a thorough study of the center/focus problem and recent results on integrability. In the last two chapters the performant software tool P4 is introduced. From the start, differential systems are represented by vector fields enabling, in full strength, a dynamical systems approach. All essential notions, including invariant manifolds, normal forms, desingularization of singularities, index theory and limit cycles, are introduced and the main results are proved for smooth systems with the necessary specifications for analytic and polynomial systems.
