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.
