Preface

In the qualitative theory of dynamical systems non isolated equilibria are rarely studied objects in comparison with isolated equilibria. This research monograph is devoted to the analysis of solutions of nonautonomous ordinary differential equations or autonomous ordinary difference equations near manifolds of stationary solutions. This study is not only motivated from a theoretical but also from a practical point of view as an application to the fundamental selection model of population genetics shows.

The principal results of this book can be comprehended with a basic knowledge of ordinary differential equations. A full understanding and appreciation of this text, however, requires some familiarity with several concepts of the qualitative theory of dynamical systems such as

w­ limit sets, invariance, Ljapunov functions, stability, asymptotic behavior and invariant manifolds. Apart from this, the presentation is self­ contained. All quoted results are stated in full detail.

I am most grateful to Prof. Dr. H. W. Knobloch for his helpful criticism and suggestions for improvement. Many thanks are also due to Dr. D. Flockerzi for his careful reading of the manuscript. Anyhow, all remaining faults are mine. Finally I would like to thank the Volkswagenwerk foundation for financial support during the preparation of the final version of this book.
