This document provides a summary of a project report on bifurcation analysis and its applications. It discusses key concepts in nonlinear systems such as equilibrium points, stability, linearization, and bifurcations including saddle node, transcritical, pitchfork and Hopf bifurcations. Examples are given to illustrate each type of bifurcation. Population models involving competition and prey-predator interactions are also discussed. The document outlines the contents which cover preliminary remarks, local theory of nonlinear systems, different types of bifurcations, and applications to population models.
