p. 217, l. 27: … eBt.
p. 239, l. 39: has at most a finite number of critical points in any compact subset of p. 261, l. 33: of a finite number of elementary critical points (i.e., critical points with at least one nonzero eigenvalue) on the equator p. 272, l. 12, 13: And for z = 0 we have – x = x – ( + 1) x2 + x3 in (10). Therefore, x > 0 for x < 0 and x < 0 for x > 0 on the x-axis. p. 279, l. 2, 3: around the unit circle with velocity v = (p) tangent to C at the point t (p). p. 285, l. 7: having a nonzero eigenvalue (to which the theorems in Section 2.8 … p. 346, l. 13: … +a11b20) p. 408, l. 20: Replace (t) by x(t). p. 408, l. 23: (2) has a unique hyperbolic periodic orbit of saddle type, x(t) = x0 + 0(), of period T. p. 409: Replace (t) by x(t) in Figure 2. p. 417, l. 14, 15: ± x = x2z2 – x4 + xz2 + x3 – z2, ± z = xz3 – x3z + z3 + x2z. p. 417, l. 18, 19: Replace (, 0) by (, 0). p. 428, l. 10: Replace n-dimensional by m-dimensional. p. 433, l. 4: Replace f by f . p. 443, l. 33, 34: Replace (4) by (1). p. 445, l. 6: Replace P2(x, y, ) by P2(x, h, ). p. 480, l. 17: accomplished for ≥ 0 in Figures 15 and 16 below and in the Appendix at the end of Section 4.15 for << –1 (e.g., for < –5); but for –5 < < 0 it is still … p. 484, l. 12: … to (3) with a11 = a12 + a21 = … p. 486: Replace .1 by –1 on the -axis in Figure 4. p. 493, l. 34: below for ≥ 0 and in Figures A and C (for << – 1) in the Appendix at the end of Section 4.15. The phase portraits for (5) … p. 495, l. 16: … for ≥ 0 and in the Appendix at the end of Section 4.15 for << –1. p. 495, l. 23: The “atlas” shown in Figure A in [53] and in the Appendix at the end of Section 4.15 (as well as in Figure 15 below for ≥ 0), gives a … p. 502, l. 14: together with the atlas and charts in [53] and in the Appendix can be used … p. 502, l. 21: values of , as described in the Appendix, and also … p. 502, l. 26: 19, 20, and 22 below and also in Chart 6 in the Appendix at the end of Section 4.15.

Cf. Chart 6 in the Appendix. p. 505, l. 11: … 23. Cf. Chart 5 in the Appendix. We see … p. 506, l. 14: … affinely equivalent to the BQS with p. 512, l. 10: are shown in Figures 15 and 16 for ≥ 0 and in the Appendix at the end of Section 4.15 for << –1. p. 528, l. 6: x = f(x, ) p. 539, l. 37: … it terminates at N2. This leads to p. 540, l. 1: … It also terminates at N2 …
