Title: Computability and computational complexity questions in dynamics
Abstract: Much of the modern development of the field of dynamical systems is motivated by numerical experiments. I will discuss whether the modern paradigm of numerical study of dynamics is on a valid theoretical footing. The answers to the question of what can and cannot be computed are mathematically subtle, and can be unexpected even in the simplest case of one-dimensional quadratic maps of the interval.
