This volume comprises selected papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Difference Equations which was held at Augsburg, Germany. It covers all themes in the fields of discrete dynamical systems and ordinary and partial difference equations, classical and contemporary, theoretical and applied. It provides a useful reference text for graduates and researchers working in this area of mathematics.

Difference Equations or Discrete Dynamical Systems is a diverse field which impacts almost every branch of pure and applied mathematics. Not surprisingly, the techniques that are developed vary just as broadly. No more so is this variety reflected than at the prestigious annual International Conference on Difference Equations and Applications. Organized under the auspices of the International Society of Difference Equations, the Conferences have an international attendance and a wide coverage of topics. The contributions from the conference collected in this volume invite the mathematical...

Anhand von über 100 ausgearbeiteten Beispielen und zahlreichen Abbildungen werden in diesem Lehrbuch die Themen, Begriffe und Verfahren die zu Vorlesungen über gewöhnliche Differentialgleichungen gehören, veranschaulicht. Dabei wird auf inner- und außermathematische Anwendungen eingegangen. Alle Sätze werden vollständig bewiesen. Über 100 Aufgaben helfen bei der Überprüfung des Gelernten.

The articles in this volume cover the different facets of the mathematical theory of dynamical systems. Topics range from topological foundations through invariant manifolds, decoupling, perturbations and computations to control theory.
