Dynamical systems are mathematical models of real-life evolutionary processes. They appear in various applications, from weather forecasts to the study of planetary motions to the evolution of species population numbers. The aim of the theory of dynamical systems is to understand the mechanisms behind certain fundamental phenomena that can be shared by various seemingly quite different dynamical systems. Such phenomena may include questions of stability (Is our solar system stable?) or the onset of chaos in completely deterministic systems (Why can’t we always give an accurate weather forecast?). One approach is to consider simplified versions of the real-life systems in the hope of “extracting” certain phenomena and then examining them without unnecessary obstructions. Nevertheless, it turns out that even very simple-looking dynamical systems can behave in mysterious ways that are yet to be understood.
