Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations by Dominic Jordan and Peter Smith is a textbook aimed at the analysis of nonlinear differential equations. This reference work provides a thorough introduction to the theory and applications of ordinary and nonlinear differential equations, with extensive examples, diagrams, and exercises.
About the book
This fourth, revised edition covers topics such as phase-plane analysis, nonlinear damping, small parameter expansions, singular perturbations, stability, Lyapunov methods, Poincaré sequences, homoclinic bifurcations, and Lyapunov exponents. More than 500 problems with solutions are included in the accompanying workbook.
