E1ementary Bifurcations of Non—Critical but N0n—Hyperbolic Invariant Tori

Consider the time-periodic peturbations of n-dimensional autonomous systems with non-hyperbolic but non-critical closed orbits in the phase space.The elementary bifurcations,such as the saddle-node,transcritical,pitchfork bifurcation to a non-hyperbolic but non-critical invariant torus of the unperturbed systems in the extended phase space(x,t),are sutdied.Some conditions which depend only on ithe original systems and can be used to determine the bifurcation structures of these problems are obtained.The theory is applied to two concrete examples.     

A Nine-modes Truncation of the Plane Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations

In this paper a nine-modes truncation of Navier-Stokes equations for a two-dimensional incompressible fluid on a torus is obtained. The stationary solutions, the existence of attractor and the global stability of the equations are firmly proved. What is more, that the force f acts on the mode ks and k7 respectively produces two systems, which lead to a much richer and varied phenomenon. Numerical simulation is given at last, which shows a stochastic behavior approached through an involved sequence of bifurcations.     

Generalized Hopf Bifurcation for Non-smooth Planar Dynamical Systems： the Corner Case

Piece-wise smooth systems are an important class of ordinary differential equations whosedynamics are known to exhibit complex bifurcation scenarios and chaos. Broadly speaking,piece-wise smooth systems can undergo all the bifurcation that smooth ones can. Moreinterestingly, there is a whole class of bifurcation that are unique to piece-wise smoothsystems, such as the bifurcation caused by the geometric shape of the region in which thevector field is analyzed. For example (see Figure 1), the region is divided into two partsI and Ⅱ by a discontinuity boundary which contains a corner at O. When an orbit crossthe corner, border-collision bifurcation may occur (cf. [1]). The present paper deals withthe mechanics of the generalized Hopf bifurcation when the stationary point locates at thecorner.     

Nongeneric Bifurcations Near a Nontransversal Heterodimensional Cycle

In this paper bifurcations of heterodimensional cycles with highly degenerate conditions are studied in three dimensional vector fields,where a nontransversal intersection between the two-dimensional manifolds of the saddle equilibria occurs.By setting up local moving frame systems in some tubular neighborhood of unperturbed heterodimensional cycles,the authors construct a Poincar′e return map under the nongeneric conditions and further obtain the bifurcation equations.By means of the bifurcation equations,the authors show that different bifurcation surfaces exhibit variety and complexity of the bifurcation of degenerate heterodimensional cycles.Moreover,an example is given to show the existence of a nontransversal heterodimensional cycle with one orbit flip in three dimensional system.     

CENTER CONDITIONS AND BIFURCATION OF LIMIT CYCLES FOR A CLASS OF FIFTH DEGREE SYSTEMS

The center conditions and bifurcation of limit cycles for a class of fifth degree systems are investigated. Two recursive formulas to compute singular quantities at infinity and at the origin are given. The first nine singular point quantities at infinity and first seven singular point quantities at the origin for the system are given in order to get center conditions and study bifurcation of limit cycles. Two fifth degree systems are constructed. One allows the appearance of eight limit cycles in the neighborhood of infinity,which is the first example that a polynomial differential system bifurcates eight limit cycles at infinity. The other perturbs six limit cycles at the origin.     

Analysis of a Class of Symmetric Equilibrium Configurations for a Territorial Model

<正>Motivated by an animal territoriality model,we consider a centroidal Voronoi tessellation algorithm from a dynamical systems perspective.In doing so,we discuss the stability of an aligned equilibrium configuration for a rectangular domain that exhibits interesting symmetry properties.We also demonstrate the procedure for performing a center manifold reduction on the system to extract a set of coordinates which capture the long term dynamics when the system is close to a bifurcation.Bifurcations of the system restricted to the center manifold are then classified and compared to numerical results.Although we analyze a specific set-up,these methods can in principle be applied to any bifurcation point of any equilibrium for any domain.     

BIFURCATIONS OF DEGENERATE SINGULAR POINT OF A PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM WITH HOLLING-IV FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE

A predator-prey system with Holling-IV functional response is investigated. It is shown that the system has a positive equilibrium, which is a cusp of co-dimension 2 under certain conditions. When the parameters vary in a small neighborhood of the values of parameters, the model undergoes the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation. Dif- ferent kinds of bifurcation phenomena are exhibited, which include the saddle-node bifurcation, the Hopf bifurcation and the homo-clinic bifurcation. Some computer simulations are presented to illustrate the conclusions.     

A Characterization of the Ejiri Torus in S~5

We conjecture that a Willmore torus having Willmore functional between 2π~2 and 2π~23~(1/2) is either conformally equivalent to the Clifford torus,or conformally equivalent to the Ejiri torus.Ejiri's torus in S~5 is the first example of Willmore surface which is not conformally equivalent to any minimal surface in any real space form.Li and Vrancken classified all Willmore surfaces of tensor product in S n by reducing them into elastic curves in S~3,and the Ejiri torus appeared as a special example.In this paper,we first prove that among all Willmore tori of tensor product,the Willmore functional of the Ejiri torus in S~5 attains the minimum 2π~23~(1/2),which indicates our conjecture holds true for Willmore surfaces of tensor product.Then we show that all Willmore tori of tensor product are unstable when the co-dimension is big enough.We also show that the Ejiri torus is unstable even in S~5.Moreover,similar to Li and Vrancken,we classify all constrained Willmore surfaces of tensor product by reducing them with elastic curves in S~3.All constrained Willmore tori obtained this way are also shown to be unstable when the co-dimension is big enough.     

Asymptotic Smoothing Effect of Solutions to Davey-Stewartson Systems on the Whole Plane

This paper discusses the Cauchy problem of elliptic-elliptic-type Davey-Stewartson systems with zero-order dissipation on R^2. Making use of the Fourier spectral projector, together with a long time comparison between the solutions to the Davey-Stewartson systems and to an auxiliary problem, we prove that the global attractor in H^1 （R^2） for the addressed Davey-Stewartson systems is a compact subset of H^2（R^2）, and thus reveal the asymptotic smoothing effect of the solutions for the systems.     

The shape of limit cycles for a class of quintic polynomial differential systems

We consider the problem of finding limit cycles for a class of quintic polynomial differential systems and their global shape in the plane. An answer to this problem can be given using the averaging theory. More precisely, we analyze the global shape of the limit cycles which bifurcate from a Hopf bifurcation and periodic orbits of the linear center ẋ = −y, ẏ = x, respectively.     

On global bifurcation for quasilinear elliptic systems on bounded domains

General second order quasilinear elliptic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions on bounded domains are formulated into nonlinear mappings between Sobolev spaces. It is shown that the linearized mapping is a Fredholm operator of index zero. This and the abstract global bifurcation theorem of [Jacobo Pejsachowicz, Patrick J. Rabier, Degree theory for C¹ Fredholm mappings of index 0, J. Anal. Math. 76 (1998) 289-319] allow us to carry out bifurcation analysis directly on these elliptic systems. At the abstract level, we establish a unilateral global bifurcation result that is needed when studying positive solutions. Finally, we supply two examples of cross-diffusion population model and chemotaxis model to demonstrate how the theory can be applied.

On the scaling properties of the period-increment scenario in dynamical systems

Two one-dimensional dynamical systems discrete in time are presented, where the variation of one parameter causes a sequence of global bifurcations; at each bifurcation the period increases by a constant value (period-increment scenario, usually denoted as a period-adding scenario). We determine all the bifurcation points and the scaling constants of the period-increment scenario analytically. A re-injection mechanism, leading to the period-increment scenario, is discussed. It will be shown, that in systems with more than one parameter the scaling constants can depend on the values of the parameters.     

Asymptotic behaviour and bifurcation in competitive Lotka-Volterra Systems

A conjecture about global attraction in autonomous competitive Lotka-Volterra systems is clarified by investigating a special system with a circular matrix. Under suitable assumptions, this system meets the condition of the conjecture but Hopf bifurcation occurs in a particular instance. This shows that the conjecture is not true in general and the condition of the conjecture is too weak to guarantee global attraction of an equilibrium. Sufficient conditions for global attraction are also obtained for this system.     

On the existence of oscillating solutions in non-monotone Mean-Field Games

For non-monotone single and two-populations time-dependent Mean-Field Game systems we obtain the existence of an infinite number of branches of non-trivial solutions. These non-trivial solutions are in particular shown to exhibit an oscillatory behaviour when they are close to the trivial (constant) one. The existence of such branches is derived using local and global bifurcation methods, that rely on the analysis of eigenfunction expansions of solutions to the associated linearized problem. Numerical analysis is performed on two different models to observe the oscillatory behaviour of solutions predicted by bifurcation theory, and to study further properties of branches far away from bifurcation points.     

A theory for n-dimensional nonlinear dynamics on continuous vector fields

This paper systematically presents a theory for n-dimensional nonlinear dynamics on continuous vector fields. In this paper, a different view to look into the fundamental theory in dynamics is presented. The ideas presented herein are less formal and rigorous in an informal and lively manner. The ideas may give some inspirations in the field of nonlinear dynamics. The concepts of local and global flows are introduced to interpret the complexity of flows in nonlinear dynamic systems. Further, the global tangency and transversality of flows to the separatrix surface in nonlinear dynamical systems are discussed, and the corresponding necessary and sufficient conditions for such global tangency and transversality are presented. The ε-domains of flows in phase space are introduced from the first integral manifold surface. The domain of chaos in nonlinear dynamic systems is also defined, and such a domain is called a chaotic layer or band. The first integral quantity increment is introduced as an important quantity. Based on different reference surfaces, all possible expressions for the first integral quantity increment are given. The stability of equilibriums and periodic flows in nonlinear dynamical systems are discussed through the first integral quantity increment. Compared to the Lyapunov stability conditions, the weak stability conditions for equilibriums and periodic flows are developed. The criteria for resonances in the stochastic and resonant, chaotic layers are developed via the first integral quantity increment. To discuss the complexity of flows in nonlinear dynamical systems, the first integral manifold surface is used as a reference surface to develop the mapping structures of periodic and chaotic flows. The invariant set fragmentation caused by the grazing bifurcation is discussed. The global grazing bifurcation is a key to determine the global transversality to the separatrix. The local grazing bifurcation on the first integral manifold surface in a single domain without separatrix is a mechanism for the transition from one resonant periodic flow to another one. Such a transition may occur through chaos. The global grazing bifurcation on the separatrix surface may imply global chaos. The complexity of the global chaos is measured by invariant sets on the separatrix surface. The invariant set fragmentation of strange attractors on the separatrix surface is central to investigate the complexity of the global chaotic flows in nonlinear dynamical systems. Finally, the theory developed herein is applied to perturbed nonlinear Hamiltonian systems as an example. The global tangency and tranversality of the perturbed Hamiltonian are presented. The first integral quantity increment (or energy increment) for 2n-dimensional perturbed nonlinear Hamiltonian systems is developed. Such an energy increment is used to develop the iterative mapping relation for chaos and periodic motions in nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. Especially, the first integral quantity increment (or energy increment) for two-dimensional perturbed nonlinear Hamiltonian systems is derived, and from the energy increment, the Melnikov function is obtained under a certain perturbation approximation. Because of applying the perturbation approximation, the Melnikov function only can be used for a rough estimate of the energy increment. Such a function cannot be used to determine the global tangency and transversality to the separatrix surface. The global tangency and transversality to the separatrix surface only can be determined by the corresponding necessary and sufficient conditions rather than the first integral quantity increment. Using the first integral quantity increment, limit cycles in two-dimensional nonlinear systems is discussed briefly. The first integral quantity of any n-dimensional nonlinear dynamical system is very crucial to investigate the corresponding nonlinear dynamics. The theory presented in this paper needs to be further developed and to be treated more rigorously in mathematics.     

A Bifurcation of Solutions of Nonlinear Fredholm Inclusions Involving CJ-Multimaps with Applications to Feedback Control Systems

In this paper, by applying the oriented coincidence index for a pair consisting of a nonlinear Fredholm operator and a CJ-multimap, we prove a global bifurcation theorem for solutions of families of inclusions with such maps. The method of guiding functions is used to calculate the oriented coincidence index for a class of feedback control systems. This characteristic allows to obtain the existence result for periodic trajectories of such systems. From the other side, it opens the possibility to apply the abstract bifurcation result to the study of qualitative behavior of branches of periodic trajectories.     

Global solution curves for semilinear systems

We study semilinear elliptic systems in two different directions. In the first one we give a simple constructive proof existence of solutions for a class of sublinear systems. Our main results are in the second direction, where we use bifurcation theory to study global solution curves. Crucial to our analysis is proving positivity properties of the corresponding linearized systems. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
