1. Introduction to the Theory of Oscillations -- 2. One-Dimensional Dynamics -- 3. Stability of Equilibria. A Classification of Equilibria of Two-Dimensional Linear Systems -- 4. Analysis of the Stability of Equilibria of Multidimensional Nonlinear Systems -- 5. Linear and Nonlinear Oscillators -- 6. Basic Properties of Maps -- 7. Limit Cycles -- 8. Basic Bifurcations of Equilibria in the Plane -- 9. Bifurcations of Limit Cycles. Saddle Homoclinic Bifurcation -- 10. The Saddle-Node Homoclinic Bifurcation. Dynamics of Slow-Fast Systems in the Plane -- 11. Dynamics of a Superconducting Josephson Junction -- 12. The Van der Pol Method. Self-Sustained Oscillations and Truncated Systems -- 13. Forced Oscillations of a Linear Oscillator -- 14. Forced Oscillations in Weakly Nonlinear Systems with One Degree of Freedom -- 15. Forced Synchronization of a Self-Oscillatory System with a Periodic External Force -- 16. Parametric Oscillations -- 17. Answers to Selected Exercises.
Summary: The text goes on to set out the basics of stability theory, as well as bifurcation theory in one and two-dimensional cases. Foundations of asymptotic methods and the theory of relaxation oscillations are presented, with much attention paid to a method of mappings and its applications.
