3.30 – 4.30 Professor Dierk Schleicher, Bremen: Understanding Complex Dynamical Systems and their Parameter Spaces
4.30 – 5.00 Tea
5.00 – 6.00 Mary Cartwright Lecture, Professor Mary Rees, Liverpool: The Topographer's View of Parameter Spaces
The two talks by Mary Rees and Dierk Schleicher will discuss parameter spaces which arise in complex dynamical systems: each point in such a parameter space represents a different dynamical system, and different parameters are distinguished by the different features which the corresponding dynamical systems might have. This gives interesting structure to parameter spaces. One often finds that a relatively small class of dynamical features yields a good understanding of the entire parameter space.
