Attractivity and Bifurcation for Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

Although, bifurcation theory of equations with autonomous and periodic time dependence is a major object of research in the study of dynamical systems since decades, the notion of a nonautonomous bifurcation is not yet established. In this book, two diffe

Preface

This book has been developed from my dissertation, which I wrote at the University of Augsburg from 2002 to 2005. I first became acquainted with several definitions of attractor for nonautonomous dynamical systems when I was preparing my diploma thesis, and the question arose whether a nonautonomous bifurcation theory can be founded based on suitable notions of nonautonomous attractor (and repeller). At the beginning of my time as a Ph. D. student, I developed local notions of attractor and repeller for several time domains (the past, the future, the whole time and finite time intervals), and I distinguished between two bifurcation scenarios. The first scenario describes the loss of attractivity and repulsivity, and the second one deals with transitions of attractors and repellers. All definitions are introduced in Chapter 2 of this book. As a test for the new definitions, I then considered asymptotically autonomous differential equations; these are systems whose behavior becomes autonomous when time tends to the past or the future. I found conditions for the occurrence of a nonautonomous bifurcation in case the underlying autonomous
