Bernold Fiedler (born 15 May 1956) is a German mathematician, specializing in nonlinear dynamics.
Fiedler received a Diploma from Heidelberg University in 1980 for his thesis Ein Räuber-Beute-System mit zwei time lags ("A predator-prey system with two time lags") and his doctorate with his thesis Stabilitätswechsel und globale Hopf-Verzweigung (Stability transformation and global Hopf bifurcation), written under the direction of Willi Jäger.[1] Fiedler is a professor at the Institute for Mathematics of the Free University of Berlin.[2]
His research includes, among other topics, global bifurcation, global attractors, and patterning in reaction-diffusion equations (an area of research pioneered by Alan Turing).[2]
In 2008, Fiedler gave the Gauss Lecture with a talk titled "Aus Nichts wird nichts? Mathematik der Selbstorganisation". In 2002 he was, with Stefan Liebscher, an Invited Speaker at the ICM in Beijing, with a talk titled "Bifurcations without parameters: some ODE and PDE examples".[3]
