Among the extensive subjects and methods studied and applied in nonlinear dynamics the authors have concentrated on constructing an exposition of the method of normal forms and its application to ordinary differential equations through perturbation analysis. In the introductory Chapters 1-3 the basic ideas connected with perturbation methods in nonlinear dynamics and the role of normal forms therein are recalled. The fundamental theorems, such that as Poincaré-Lyapunov and Grobman-Hartman ones and the Gronwall lemma are introduced as essential tools in the error estimation in perturbative approximation schemes. The basic concepts of fixed points, separatrix, Stability of limit cycle solutions, center manifold are illustrated by various examples. Chapter 4 develops the formalism of the perturbation expansion associated with the normal form method. Here the authors justify the freedom of choice principle to maximally simplify the approximation form in perturbative expansions of solutions of dynamical systems. In Chapter 5 the problems having unperturbed system eigenvalues with negative real parts are discussed. Here the naive perturbation expansion yields precisely the same terms as the normal form expansion. This result is based on the fact, that only a finite number of so-called resonant terms are possible, i.e. the generators of the expansion can be taken to be the unperturbed solutions. Also on several examples the phenomenon of finite-time blowup of solutions is discussed. Chapters 6 and 7 are devoted to systems with one degree of freedom modelling conservative and dissipative systems describing often electrical and mechanical oscillations and vibrations when the force has a dominant linear term plus a smaller nonlinear one. Here the unperturbed system has a pair of pure imaginary conjugate eigenvalues and the perturbation gives the periodic motion, damped oscillations or limit cycles. The concept of minimal normal form is introduced, connected with a regrouping of expansion terms. Chapter 8 considers nonautonomous oscillatory problems arising in the discussion of the linear and nonlinear Mathieu equations, the study of pendula, orbits in celestial mechanics, electric circuits, nuclear magnetic resonance and for resonant oscillations of charged particles, with special attention to explosive instabilities. Chapter 9 contains the techniques for the treatment of problems, in which the unperturbed part has one or more zero eigenvalues and the remaining ones have negative real part. Here the connections between center manifold method and normal forms are discussed. Chapters 10 and 11 are devoted to harmonic oscillators with nonlinear coupling and higher-dimensional dissipative systems, the evolution of limit cycles and center manifolds, phase locking in coupled oscillators. The monograph will be very useful for applied mathematicians dealing with applications of perturbation and bifurcation theories.
