Hendrik Wolter "Henk" Broer (born 18 February 1950, Diever) is a Dutch mathematician known for contributions to the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. He was professor at the University of Groningen between 1981 and 2015.
Biography
Broer was granted a doctorate in the faculty of mathematics and natural sciences in 1979 under the supervision of Floris Takens for a thesis entitled Bifurcations of singularities in volume preserving vector fields. He was a professor at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, from 1981 until his retirement in 2015.
Broer has written a number of books and published over 120 articles on his subject, including the following:[2]
