European Conference on Iteration Theory 2010

The main topic of ECIT (European Conference on Iteration Theory) is iteration theory. This theory is a branch of mathematics and includes topics related to discrete dynamical systems and functional equations. The aim of these theoretical studies is to model, analyze and understand iterative process, for example, systems with discrete time. Such systems can be obtained from many different fields of application: engineering (control theory, electronics, ...), physics, mechanics, economics, biology, ecology, ...

All these questions have given rise to the introduction and the development of several branches of mathematics, related with the iteration theory, as, for instance:

  • Theory of singularities
  • Bifurcation theory
  • Dynamical systems with small perturbations
  • Topological dynamics
  • Ergodic theory
  • Symbolic dynamics
  • Embedding problems
  • Iteration theory, in particular also iteration groups and semi-groups
  • Iterative and linear functional equations
  • The European Conference on Iteration Theory, ECIT 2010, will be held on September 2010, 12-17, in Midi-Pyrénées, Southwest France. It follows the sequence of meetings started in Toulouse 1973 and continued in Graz 1977, Marburg 1980, Toulouse 1982, Lochau 1984, Caldes de Malavella 1987, Batschuns 1989, Lisboa 1991, Batschuns 1992, Opava 1994, Urbino 1996, Muszyna 1998, La Manga del Mar Menor 2000, Evora 2002, Batschuns 2004, Gargnano 2006 and Yalta 2008.
