The terminology and basic concepts of the theory of the dynamical systems are introduced, as well as elementary topics on the behaviour of the differential systems: in R^n the theorems of the invariant manifolds and Hartman-Grobman are studied and, for the particular case of the plane, the tools for the study of some non elementary singularities (in particular, non degenerated singularities).
As examples of discrete dynamical systems, the quadratic application or the horseshoe of Smale are studied.
1.- Generalities: the general concept of dynamical system. Orbits and limit sets. (3 lectures)
2.- Examples of dynamical systems: flows and discrete dynamical systems. (4 lectures)
3.- Equivalence and conjugation. The structural stability. (3 lectures)
4.- Recurrence. (1 lecture)
5.- Dynamical systems in R^n. Local study: the Hartman-Grobman and the invariant manifolds theorems. (4 lectures)
6.- Dynamical systems in the plane. Study of the critical points. (4 lectures)

The general directions of the master will be followed.
The methodology used will be based on: presentations by the teacher, completion and presentation by the students concerning some works proposed, development of exercises, discussions in the classroom and complementary reading.
The listed skills will be exercised with the proposed training activities.
There will be a virtual course available to students.
The expository and interactive teaching will be face-to-face.
The tutorials will be mainly in person and they might be partially virtual through the email or MS Teams.
The general directions of the master will be followed.
The evaluación will be carried out through continuous assessment, based on the completion of tasks, delivery of works, or presentations at the classroom. However, after the publication of the results of the continuous assessment, a voluntary final test will be proposed to give the students the opportunity to improve the qualification. If the student obtains a continuous assessment less than 5 points, then the final test is compulsory and the final qualification is the maximum between the continuous assessment mark and the final test qualification.
Through the different activities proposed, the acquisition of the mentioned skills will be evaluated.
The continuous evaluation and the final test, if necessary, will be done in person.
In the second opportunity, the continuous assessment obtained during the course will be taken into account, and a compulsory presential final test will be proposed. The qualification will be the maximum between the continuous assessment mark and the final test qualification.
Warning: In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests (plagiarism or improper use of technologies), the provisions of the “Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións” will be applied.
