4th Quadriennal International Conference on Dynamical Systems

Brief History and Main Topics

International meetings on Dynamical Systems have been organized at IMPA, on a quadriennal  basis,  since 1981. These meetings are attended by a  large number of the most distinguished experts in this area and cover several active domains of Dynamics. 

The present meeting is devoted mainly to the following topics:

  • Fractal dimensions and homoclinic byfurcations;
  • Strange attractor and invariant measures;
  • Holomorphic dynamical systems;
  • Dynamics of endomorphisms of the interval or the circle;
  • Conservative dynamical systems and variational methods.
