SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

International Conference on Dynamical Systems

Session of the Sharkovsky's Seminar

May 18 - 22, 1998, Institute of Mathematics, Kiev, Ukraine

The conference will center on problems in low dimensional dynamics, with some time devoted to other areas of dynamical systems.
This conference is planned as a seminar based on 1-hour reports and will be similar to the traditional Sharkovsky's seminar existing since 1974 and taking place almost every week. Since the seminar was started, many well-known mathematicians presented their reports at it - V. M. Alexeyev, A. M. Blokh, Yu. Bogdanov, I. U. Bronshtein, K. Khanin, B. Khesin, G. Levin, M. Yu. Lyubich, M. I. Malkin, M. Misiurewicz, Ya. Pesin, B. Sevryuk, L. P. Shil'nikov, J. Smital, L. Snoha, M. V. Yakobson, X. Ye, and others. However, because of the financial crisis in the Former Soviet Union countries, the seminar works irregularly now. To stimulate the work, we decided to organize an international session of the seminar hoping that similar sessions may become regular in the future with, probably, a larger number of lecturers.
