Nonlinear discrete dynamical systems in the form of iterates of maps are important in applications and are used to describe phenomena in population dynamics, ecology, mechanics and celestial dynamics. The purpose of this class is to introduce the fundamental techniques to obtain computer-assisted proofs in the study of finite dimensional nonlinear discrete dynamical systems. More precisely, the students will learn novel computational techniques to obtain computer-assisted proofs of existence of fixed points, periodic orbits, stable and unstable manifolds attached to fixed points and periodic orbits, homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. Finally, students will learn how to prove existence of chaos in discrete dynamical systems.
