Books by Domencio Castrigiano

By investigating the phenomena of bifurcation and chaos, Catastrophe Theory proved to be fundamental to the understanding of qualitative dynamics. This fully revised second edition includes two new chapters treating genericity and stability of unfoldings.

This edition contains complete proofs of Thomas classification theorems as well as the genericity and stability results assuming only elementary calculus and linear algebra. Catastrophe Theory is an intriguing beautiful theory whose striking feature is its universality. The text is self-contained and progressing in its approach. It is also unique in its treatment of genericity and stability.
