Abstract
Dynamical systems theory relies upon coordinate transformations to study qualitative properties of vector fields. These coordinate transformations depend upon derivatives of the vector fields as well as the values of the vector fields. Thus, automatic differentiation provides an attractive technology for studying dynamical systems. This paper describes one novel area in which this appears to be the case: computer validation of the phase portraits for families of planar vector fields. Hilbert's sixteenth problem is used to motivate interest in these results. The discussion is informal and new results are only sketched since the new algorithms for verifying properties of bifurcations have not been implemented and tested on examples.
