Questions tagged [bifurcation]

Bifurcation theory is the mathematical study of changes in the qualitative or topological structure of a given family, such as the integral curves of a family of vector fields, and the solutions of a family of differential equations. (Def: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_theory)

My intuition for the answer is NO, here is my thought: Let $T(x,\lambda)$ be the map depending on one parameter $\lambda$, assume at $(x_0,\lambda_0)$ a tangent bifurcation occurs for the $T^2$ map, ...

I am stuck in solving the following point of this exercise. We consider maps $f_\alpha:[−1,+1]\setminus\{0\}→[−1,+1]$, where $\alpha\in (1,2]$, given by $$f_\alpha(x)=\alpha x−\text{sign}(x)$$ where $\...

Consider the 1-dimensional autonomous ODE \begin{align} \dot{x} = \mu + 2x^2 - x^4 \end{align} where $\mu \in \mathbb{R}$ is a parameter. I have found the fixed points, their stability, and plotted ...

I have a 3d dynamical system that I am investigating that undergoes a series of bifurcations as two parameters ($I_1$ and $I_2$) are varied. The parameters represent input entering the system along ...

I'm trying to study the behaviour of the family of maps $T_h:[0,1]\to[0,1]$ defined by $T_h(x)=\min{(h,1-2|x-\frac{1}{2}|)}$. I stumbled upon the family at the end of this paper on Sharkovsky's ...

Based on the concept of logistic iterative operations, $x\rightarrow kx(1-x)$,where $k\in[0,4]$, I have proposed a similar iterative operation relationship.Specifically, I considered the form $${} x\...

I am looking for a good reference on catastrophe theory or bifurcation theory for gradient flows defined by a time-dependent potential function, specifically of the form $\dot{x} = \nabla_x f(x, u)$ ...

I wanted to ask the following question - Given a knot $K$, is there any algorithm, knot invariant, some heuristic (or anything really) which can tell if $K$ is a cable knot? The reason I am interested ...

We are given the following dynamic system $$ \dot{x} = -a x + y + x(x^2 + y^2) - a \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} $$ $$ \dot{y} = -x - a y + y(x^2 + y^2) - a \frac{x^2 y}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} $$ where $a $...

I am working with normal forms and encountered the following statement in a paper. The system $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \dot{w}_0 = w_1 \\ \dot{w}_1 = a2 w_0^2 + b_2 w_0 w_1 + a_3 w_0^3 + b_3 w_0^2 ...

The logistic map typically converges to a "carrying capacity", or output value across iterations, at r values (the growth rate) under 3. After 3, the value the system converges to bifurcates ...
