New book by Pinto, Rand and Ferreira now available from Springer:

A A. Pinto, D A. Rand and F Ferreira, Fine Structures of Hyperbolic Diffeomorphisms, Springer Monographs in Mathematics ISSN 1439-7382 (published October 22nd, 2008). Book web page hereFlyer

On surfaces the theory of the fine scale structure of hyperbolic invariant sets and their measures can be described in a very complete and elegant way. This is the subject of this book. A very substantial part of the exposition is the outcome of the ongoing research programme of Pinto & Rand that was started in the mid-90s. There are also a number of new developments in the book such as the pseudo-smooth structures for pseudo-Anosov systems.

Some recent papers now available.

Available now: new global sensitivity analysis tools developed by Paul Brown and David Rand. These enable one to calculate and display the sensitivity heat maps and parameters sensitivity spectrum introduced recently by David Rand. The software is driven bt three GUIs and at the moment only works for oscillators. In the near future it will be augmented so that it also works for signalling systems where the solution of interest is a transcient that is excited by an incoming signal. On the download page you just click on the file called Limit Cycle Sensitivity Analysis. Download.

Older clocks software available. This is older stuff produced by Paul Brown, Boris Shulgin and David Rand. Download.
