Description

This authoritative volume shows how modern dynamical systems theory can help us in understanding the evolution of cosmological models.

It also compares this approach with Hamiltonian methods and numerical studies.

A major part of the book deals with the spatially homogeneous (Bianchi) models and their isotropic subclass, the Friedmann-Lemaitre models, but certain classes of inhomogeneous models (for example, 'silent universes') are also examined.

The analysis leads to an understanding of how special (high symmetry) models determine the evolution of more general families of models; and how these families relate to real cosmological observations.

This is the first book to relate modern dynamical systems theory to both cosmological models and cosmological observations.

It provides an invaluable reference for graduate students and researchers in relativity, cosmology and dynamical systems theory.
