Research group Dynamical Systems

Our research group focuses on the investigation of the long-term behaviour, complexity and stability properties of time-dependent systems. These may be given by differential equations, the iteration of mappings or more general group actions.

  1. DAAD funds joint project with the Jagiellonian University Krakow

    The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) funds the scientific exchange between the Dynamical Systems group (D. Kwietniak) at the Jagiellonian University of Krakow and the research groups in Dynamical Systems (T. Jäger) and Analysis (D. Lenz) at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. The joint project will focus on `Topologial Dynamics, Extension Structures and Complexity'.

  2. Do it yourself Fractals

    An online tool for the generation of fractals induced by so-called iterated function systems (IFS) was programmed by by Marta Imke in the context of a project work in the research group Dynamical Systems. The online fractal generator can be used both in teaching and elsewhere to illustrate the fascinating richness of the world of fractals.
