This volume contains the invited papers presented at the 9th International Conference
“Dynamical Systems – Theory and Applications” held in Ł´od´z, Poland,
December 17–20, 2007 dealing with nonlinear dynamical systems. The conference
gathered a numerous group of scientists and engineers, who deal with widely
understood problems of dynamics met also in engineering and daily life.
Organization of the conference would not have been possible without a great
effort of the staff of the Department of Automatics and Biomechanics of the Technical
University of Ł´od´z. The patronage over the conference has been taken by the following
scientific institutions:Mechanics and Machine Dynamics Committees of the
Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics,
Polish Association for Computational Mechanics, and Technical Committee of
Nonlinear Oscillations of IFToMM.
