(II) Equivariant dynamical systems and symmetry-breaking bifurcations

In the second part of this course, we give a standard degree-approach to studying equivariant bifurcations in equivariant dynamical systems, as well as systems with constant delay. By means of equivariant degree we learned from the first part, results of existence, multiplicity and symmetric properties can be obtained and classified for bifurcating branches of solutions. Several models will be looked at in population dynamics.
