In mathematics, the normal form of a dynamical system is a simplified form that can be useful in determining the system's behavior.

Normal forms are often used for determining local bifurcations in a system. All systems exhibiting a certain type of bifurcation are locally topologically equivalent to the normal form of the bifurcation. For example, the normal form of a saddle-node bifurcation is

where μ {\displaystyle \mu } is the bifurcation parameter. The transcritical bifurcation

near x = 1 {\displaystyle x=1} can be converted to the normal form
