SYMPOSIUM: GLOBAL NONLINEAR DYNAMICS AND STABILITY OF LUMPED AND CONTINUOUS SYSTEM

1. Description:

Global bifurcations have an undeniable influence on the behavior of several systems in applied sciences and engineering. They are particularly important in problems involving dynamic instability phenomena. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, global bifurcations, evolution, erosion and stratification of basins of attraction, influence of global bifurcations on the integrity of structural systems, basin boundary topology, multi-well systems, dynamic instability, random bifurcations and basins of attraction, reduced-order modeling and its application in global dynamics, numerical methods for the analysis of global bifurcations, influence of global dynamics on control, including control of chaos, and modern asymptotic methods in global dynamics.

2. Objectives:

The aim of this mini-symposium is to gather specialists of different areas working on the analysis of global dynamics of lumped and continuous systems. Papers are solicited in all areas related to theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of the problem
