The course begins with a classification of dynamical systems based on continuity/discreteness in time and state space, and on complexity of temporal dynamics. Next, stability and bifurcation theory are introduced. In the third part, the outlined approaches are used to describe transitions of dynamics from a steady state to periodic oscillations and ultimately to chaotic oscillations, including detailed characterization of chaos using the concept of fractals and Lyapunov exponents. This methodology is applied primarily to chemical systems with complex kinetics in stirred tank reactors as well as tubular reactors. Also, connection between chaotic dynamics and hydrodynamic turbulence is discussed. The last part of the course focuses on interaction between reaction and transport, in particular on Turing and flow-distributed patterns. Applications of pattern formation to biological morphogenesis are described.

Student acquires an overview on methods of model analysis describing dynamical behavior of general systems with special attention to chemical systems, taking place in reactors as well as in living organisms.
An explanation is provided on properties of general nonlinear systems described by differential/difference equations, and on occurrence of nonlinear effects in chemical systems as a consequence of coupling between negative and positive feedback.
Dynamical regimes in chemical systems emerge via bifurcations(i.e., changes in the course of the system as control parameters are varying), which are systematically described.
Sustained dynamics is represented by oscillations that may be periodic, quasiperiodic or chaotic. The course also involves time series analysis with focus on measures of chaos, such as fractal dimension,Lyapunov exponens and Kolmogorov entropy.
At the end, specific chemical systems are taken to show how the outlined methods are applied. These examples include also spatially distributed systems, in particular, spontaneous pattern formation in reaction-transport systems. Last update: Schreiber Igor (13.11.2018)
