Since there are several excellent books on stability theory, the author selected some recent topics in stability theory which are related to existence theorems for periodic solutions and for almost periodic solutions. The author hopes that these notes will also serve as an introduction to stability theory. These notes contain stability theory by Liapunov's second method and somewhat extended discussion of stability properties in almost periodic systems, and the existence of a periodic solution in a periodic system is discussed in connection with the boundedness of solutions, and the existence of an almost periodic solution in an almost periodic system is considered in con nection with some stability property of a bounded solution. In the theory of almost periodic systems, one has to consider almost periodic functions depending on parameters, but most of text books on almost periodic functions do not contain this case. Therefore, as mathemati cal preliminaries, the first chapter is intended to provide a guide for some properties of almost periodic functions with parameters as well as for properties of asymptotically almost periodic functions. These notes originate from a seminar on stability theory given by the author at the Mathematics Department of Michigan State Univer sity during the academic year 1972-1973. The author is very grateful to Professor Pui-Kei Wong and members of the Department for their warm hospitality and many helpful conversations. The author wishes to thank Mrs.

The theory of almost periodic functions is a very active field of research for scholars. This research monograph analyzes various classes of multi-dimensional metrically almost periodic type functions with values in complex Banach spaces. We provide many applications of our theoretical results to the abstract Volterra integro-differential inclusions in Banach spaces.

Since the publication of our first book [80], there has been a real resiu-gence of interest in the study of almost automorphic functions and their applications ([16, 17, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 40, 41, 42, 46, 51, 58, 74, 75, 77, 78, 79]). New methods (method of invariant s- spaces, uniform spectrum), and new concepts (almost periodicity and almost automorphy in fuzzy settings) have been introduced in the literature. The range of applications include at present linear and nonlinear evolution equations, integro-differential and functional-differential equations, dynamical systems, etc...It has become imperative to take a bearing of the main steps of the the ory. That is the main purpose of this monograph. It is intended to inform the reader and pave the road to more research in the field. It is not a self contained book. In fact, [80] remains the basic reference and fimdamental source of information on these topics. Chapter 1 is an introductory one. However, it contains also some recent contributions to the theory of almost automorphic functions in abstract spaces. VIII Preface Chapter 2 is devoted to the existence of almost automorphic solutions to some Unear and nonUnear evolution equations. It con tains many new results. Chapter 3 introduces to almost periodicity in fuzzy settings with applications to differential equations in fuzzy settings. It is based on a work by B. Bede and S. G. Gal [40].

The theory of linear Volterra Integro-differental equations has been developing rapidly in the last three decades. This book provides an easy-to-read, concise introduction to the theory of ill-posed abstract Volterra Integro-differential equations. It is accessible to readers whose backgrounds include functions of one complex variable, integration theory and the basic theory of locally convex spaces. Each chapter is further divided into sections and subsections, and contains plenty of examples and open problems.

Since the first edition of this book, geometrical methods in the theory of ordinary differential equations have become very popular and some progress has been made partly with the help of computers. Much of this progress is represented in this revised, expanded edition, including such topics as the Feigenbaum universality of period doubling, the Zoladec solution, the Iljashenko proof, the Ecalle and Voronin theory, the Varchenko and Hovanski theorems, and the Neistadt theory. In the selection of material for this book, the author explains basic ideas and methods applicable to the study of differential equations. Special efforts were made to keep the basic ideas free from excessive technicalities. Thus the most fundamental questions are considered in great detail, while of the more special and difficult parts of the theory have the character of a survey. Consequently, the reader needs only a general mathematical knowledge to easily follow this text. It is directed to mathematicians, as well as all users of the theory of differential equations.
