Abstract

The scope of this chapter will be limited to systems of finite dimension; i.e., those which can be described by a limited number of ordinary differential equations of finite order. Any such set of equations can, of course, be brought into a canonical set of first-order equations by augmenting the number of variables, but for most of the analysis here it is more convenient to deal with the equations in the form in which they are generated.
