REVIEWS OF TOPICAL PROBLEMS
Singularities, bifurcations, and catastrophes
V. I. Arnol'd Lomonosov Moscow State University
Abstract:
The theories of smooth-mapping singularities and dynamical-system bifurcations are reviewed. Mention is made of the applications to optics (caustic and wave-front metamorphoses) and to theories of short-wave asymptotics, the origin of large-scale structure in the universe, and loss of equilibrium and self-oscillation stability (“catastrophe theory”).
