International Conference on

Dynamics of Continuous, Discrete and Impulsive Systems

London , Canada, July 27-31, 2001

Program Scope: This conference will focus on recent advances in the theory and applications of continuous, discrete and impulsive systems. There will be several invited expository addresses covering recent trends and many invited lectures on problems of current interest and important applications in various disciplines. Topics of interest include but not limited to:

• Differential equations and difference equations
• Finite dimensional dynamical systems
• Infinite dimensional dynamical systems
• Impulsive and hybrid systems
• Large-scale dynamical systems methodologies
• Sample data systems and digital control
• Stability theory and stabilization
• Bifurcation theory and chaotic dynamics
• Normal forms and dynamical systems
• Nonlinear systems theory and applications
• Modern control theory and applications,
• Optimal, H-infinity, feedback and decentralized controls
• Neural networks and neural computing
• Congestion control and internet modeling
• Fluid dynamics and turbulence

Special Sessions: There will be a number of special sessions on specific topics. Special sessions are invited.
