Singularities, bifurcations, and catastrophes


V.A. Steklov Mathematical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, ul. Gubkina 8, Moscow, 119991, Russian Federation

The theories of smooth-mapping singularities and dynamical-system bifurcations are reviewed. Mention is made of the applications to optics (caustic and wave-front metamorphoses) and to theories of short-wave asymptotics, the origin of large-scale structure in the universe, and loss of equilibrium and self-oscillation stability (``catastrophe theory'').
