Synopsis:

This book discusses continuous and discrete nonlinear systems in systematic and sequential approaches. The unique feature of the book is its mathematical theories on flow bifurcations, nonlinear oscillations, Lie symmetry analysis of nonlinear systems, chaos theory, routes to chaos and multistable coexisting attractors. The logically structured content and sequential orientation provide readers with a global overview of the topic. A systematic mathematical approach has been adopted, featuring a multitude of detailed worked-out examples alongside comprehensive exercises. The book is useful for courses in dynamical systems and chaos and nonlinear dynamics for advanced undergraduate, graduate and research students in mathematics, physics and engineering. 

The second edition of the book is thoroughly revised and includes several new topics: center manifold reduction, quasi-periodic oscillations, Bogdanov–Takens, periodbubbling and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations, and dynamics on circle. The organized structures in bi-parameter plane for transitional and chaotic regimes are new active research interest and explored thoroughly. The connections of complex chaotic attractors with fractals cascades are explored in many physical systems. Chaotic attractors may attain multiple scaling factors and show scale invariance property. Finally, the ideas of multifractals and global spectrum for quantifying inhomogeneous chaotic attractors are discussed.

About the Author: G. C. LAYEK is a Professor of the Department of Mathematics, The University of Burdwan, India. He received his Ph.D. degree from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and did his Post doctoral studies at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. His areas of research are nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, turbulence, boundary layer flows and thermal sciences. Professor Layek has published more than 100 research papers in international journals of repute. He taught more than two decades at the post-graduate level in the University of Burdwan. He made several international academic visits, such asLaboratoire de Me ́canique des Fluides de Lille (LMFL), Centrale Lille, France as ‘Professeur invitaé’, Saint Petersburg State University and Kazan State Technological University, Russia for collaborative research works. Layek and Pati’s model (Physics Letters A, 381: 3568-3575, 2017) got recognition for exploring bifurcations and Shil’nikov chaos in Rayleigh-Bénard convection of a Boussinesq fluid layer heated underneath taking non-Fourier heat-flux. The existence of non-Kolmogorov turbulence is established for free-shear turbulent flows, viz., turbulent wake, jet and thermal plume flows through Lie symmetry analysis on statistical turbulent model equations. He has made significant contributions for identification of organized structures in transitional routes and chaotic regimes of many physical phenomena.He now focuses research works on organized structures in chaos and turbulence.
