Review text

In this paper a careful introduction into modern ideas in bifurcation theory is presented. The rôle of parameters and the generic terminology are explained in the context of variational problems in finite dimensions. Then the simplest bifurcation in low dimensions are discussed. A classification of recognition conditions for steady state problems is provided. In a series of nice pictures the author explains Hopf bifurcation and the corresponding dynamics. The rôle of symmetries for steady state and Hopf bifurcation is explained and new applications (Lapwood convection) are given. Then the author describes some ideas concerning hidden symmetries, mainly in the context of Neumann problems. Finally symmetric chaos is discussed and the relation between a symmetry increasing crisis and nice computer pictures is explained. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0745.00036].
