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.",
