This volume contains original research papers on topics central to Dynamical Systems, such as fractional dimensions (Hausdorff dimension, limity capacity) and limit cycles of polynomial vector fields concerning the well-known Dulac and Hilbert's 16th problems. Stability and bifurcations, intermittency, normal forms, Anosov flows and foliations are also themes treated in the papers. Many of the authors are renowned for their important contributions to the field. This volume should be of much interest to people working in dynamical systems, including, physicists, biologists and engineers.
