Credit for practicals will be given based
on more or less regular attendace, and about two
presentations at the blackboard.

(3 problems - 90 minutes) followed by a theoretical
part (definitions, theorems and proofs).
Practical part will typically include the following topics:
- (non)-existence of periodic solutions (Poincaré-Bendixson-Dulac)
-
Hopf bifurcation La Salle's theorem
- local / global controllability problems of (non)linear problems
- centre-manifold approximations, stability of the reduced system
