PREFACE

The study of bifurcations of families of dynamical systems defined by vector fields (i.e. ordinary differential equations) depending on real parameters is at present an active area of theoretical and applied research. Problems in mathematical biology, fluid dynamics, electrical engineering, among other applied disciplines, lead to multiparametric vector fields whose bifurcation analysis of equilibria (singular points) and oscillations (cycles) is required. The case of planar vector fields, due to the presence of regular as well as singular limit cycles is the first one, in increasing dimension of phase space, whose study cannot be fully reduced to the analysis of singularities and zeroes of algebraic equations, particularly when the number of parameters involved is larger than or equal to two. The results established in this volume illustrate the diversity of the algebraic, geometric and analytic methods used in the description of the variety of structural patterns that appear in the bifurcation diagrams of generic three­parameter families of planar vector fields, around singular points whose linear parts are nilpote
