Publisher’s description: Time-evolution in low-dimensional topological spaces is a subject of puzzling vitality. This book is a state-of-the-art account, covering classical and new results. The volume comprises Poincar´e-Bendixson, local and Morse-Smale theories, as well as a carefully written chapter on the invariants of surface flows. Of particular interest are chapters on the Anosov-Weil problem, C ∗ -algebras and noncompact surfaces. The book invites graduate students and non-specialists to a fascinating realm of research. It is a valuable source of reference to the specialists. Keywords : Poincar´e-Bendixson theory; time-evolution in low-dimensional topological spaces; Morse-Smale theories; invariants of surface flows; Anosov-Weil problem; C ∗ algebras; noncompact surfaces Classification : ∗ 37E35 Flows on surfaces 37-02 Research exposition (Dynamical systems and ergodic theory) 37C10 Vector fields, flows, ordinary differential equations
