abstract
The dynamical system approach has recently acquired great importance in the investigation on higher order theories of gravity. In this talk I review the main results and I give brief comments on the perspectives for further developments.

Hamiltonian analysis reveals degenerate constraints on singular surfaces in f(R) gravity, leading to empty spectra on certain backgrounds and regularity conditions for dynamical crossings in Starobinsky model.
Forecasts show that future 21 cm surveys can deliver moderate constraints on the scale-dependent growth index and HI bias in viable f(R) models.
