Aim of the event:
The lecture is to impart the fundamentals of the analysis of nonlinear systems. On the basis of a classification of dynamical systems and related examples, different analysis methods for the computation of phenomena occurring in nonlinear systems will be dealt with. The stability features of such systems will be dealt with extensively. Thus, we are going to impart an understanding of the behaviour of nonlinear systems and present the mathematical aspects of dealing with these systems.

Target group:
