"An Introduction to Abstract
Dynamics"
By
Abstract: With little historical inaccuracy the abstract dynamics may be said
to have its inception in the work of H. Poincaré on
celestial mechanics. Initially its central objective is the qualitative study
of differential equations. In its contemporary form it straddles an increasingly
interdisciplinary domain that reaches from very practical issues like the
stability, accuracy and efficiency of numerical methods to theory of group
actions in several categories. The talk is meant to be a tentative
introduction.
