Hopf Bifurcation of the Generalized Lorenz Canonical Form

Hopf bifurcation of a unified chaotic system – the generalized Lorenz canonical form (GLCF) – is investigated. Based on rigorous mathematical analysis and symbolic computations, some conditions for stability and direction of the periodic obits from the Hopf bifurcation are derived.     

Codimension-two bifurcation analysis in two-dimensional Hindmarsh–Rose model

In this paper, we analyze the codimension-2 bifurcations of equilibria of a two-dimensional Hindmarsh–Rose model. By using the bifurcation methods and techniques, we give a rigorous mathematical analysis of Bautin bifurcation. The main result is that no more than two limit cycles can be bifurcated from the equilibrium via Hopf bifurcation; sufficient conditions for the existence of one or two limit cycles are obtained. This paper also shows that the model undergoes a Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation which includes a saddle-node bifurcation, an Andronov–Hopf bifurcation, and a homoclinic bifurcation. In some case, the globally asymptotical stability is discussed.     

Double Hopf Bifurcation Analysis Using Frequency Domain Methods

The dynamic behavior close to a non-resonant double Hopf bifurcation is analyzed via a frequency-domain technique. Approximate expressions of the periodic solutions are computed using the higher order harmonic balance method while their accuracy and stability have been evaluated through the calculation of the multipliers of the monodromy matrix. Furthermore, the detection of secondary Hopf or torus bifurcations (Neimark–Sacker bifurcation for maps) close to the analyzed singularity has been obtained for a coupled electrical oscillatory circuit. Then, quasi-periodic solutions are likely to exist in certain regions of the parameter space. Extending this analysis to the unfolding of the 1:1 resonant double Hopf bifurcation, cyclic fold and torus bifurcations have also been detected in a controlled oscillatory coupled electrical circuit. The comparison of the results obtained with the suggested technique, and with continuation software packages, has been included.     

One-to-three resonant Hopf bifurcations of a maglev system

This paper studies the dynamics of a maglev system around 1:3 resonant Hopf–Hopf bifurcations. When two pairs of purely imaginary roots exist for the corresponding characteristic equation, the maglev system has an interaction of Hopf–Hopf bifurcations at the intersection of two bifurcation curves in the feedback control parameter and time delay space. The method of multiple time scales is employed to drive the bifurcation equations for the maglev system by expressing complex amplitudes in a combined polar-Cartesian representation. The dynamics behavior in the vicinity of 1:3 resonant Hopf–Hopf bifurcations is studied in terms of the controller’s parameters (time delay and two feedback control gains). Finally, numerical simulations are presented to support the analytical results and demonstrate some interesting phenomena for the maglev system.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis in synaptically coupled HR neurons with two time delays

This paper presents an investigation of stability and Hopf bifurcation of a synaptically coupled nonidentical HR model with two time delays. By regarding the half of the sum of two delays as a parameter, we first consider the existence of local Hopf bifurcations, and then derive explicit formulas for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions, using the normal form method and center manifold theory. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out for supporting theoretical analysis results.     

Supercritical and subcritical Hopf bifurcation and limit cycle oscillations of an airfoil with cubic nonlinearity in supersonic\hypersonic flow

In this paper, the Hopf bifurcations and limit cycle oscillations (LCOs) of an airfoil with cubic nonlinearity in supersonic\hypersonic flow are investigated. The harmonic balance method and multivariable Floquet theory are applied to analyze the LCOs of the airfoil. Four distinct cases of the LCOs response are detected in this system: (I) supercritical Hopf bifurcation, (II) a single subcritical Hopf bifurcation, (III) two subcritical Hopf bifurcations, and (IV) no Hopf bifurcation. Furthermore, the parameter variations domains separating the supercritical and subcritical Hopf bifurcations are presented using singularity theory.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis of asymmetrical rotating shafts

The Hopf and double Hopf bifurcations analysis of asymmetrical rotating shafts with stretching nonlinearity are investigated. The shaft is simply supported and is composed of viscoelastic material. The rotary inertia and gyroscopic effect are considered, but, shear deformation is neglected. To consider the viscoelastic behavior of the shaft, the Kelvin–Voigt model is used. Hopf bifurcations occur due to instability caused by internal damping. To analyze the dynamics of the system in the vicinity of Hopf bifurcations, the center manifold theory is utilized. The standard normal forms of Hopf bifurcations for symmetrical and asymmetrical shafts are obtained. It is shown that the symmetrical shafts have double zero eigenvalues in the absence of external damping, but asymmetrical shafts do not have. The asymmetrical shaft in the absence of external damping has a saddle point, therefore the system is unstable. Also, for symmetrical and asymmetrical shafts, in the presence of external damping at the critical speeds, supercritical Hopf bifurcations occur. The amplitude of periodic solution due to supercritical Hopf bifurcations for symmetrical and asymmetrical shafts for the higher modes would be different, due to shaft asymmetry. Consequently, the effect of shaft asymmetry in the higher modes is considerable. Also, the amplitude of periodic solutions for symmetrical shafts with rotary inertia effect is higher than those of without one. In addition, the dynamic behavior of the system in the vicinity of double Hopf bifurcation is investigated. It is seen that in this case depending on the damping and rotational speed, the sink, source, or saddle equilibrium points occur in the system.     

Supercritical as well as subcritical Hopf bifurcation in nonlinear flutter systems

The Hopf bifurcations of an airfoil flutter system with a cubic nonlinearity are investigated, with the flow speed as the bifurcation parameter. The center manifold theory and complex normal form method are Used to obtain the bifurcation equation. Interestingly, for a certain linear pitching stiffness the Hopf bifurcation is both supercritical and subcritical. It is found, mathematically, this is caused by the fact that one coefficient in the bifurcation equation does not contain the first power of the bifurcation parameter. The solutions of the bifurcation equation are validated by the equivalent linearization method and incremental harmonic balance method.     

Secondary resonances of a quadratic nonlinear oscillator following two-to-one resonant Hopf bifurcations

Stable bifurcating solutions may appear in an autonomous time-delayed nonlinear oscillator having quadratic nonlinearity after the trivial equilibrium loses its stability via two-to-one resonant Hopf bifurcations. For the corresponding non-autonomous time-delayed nonlinear oscillator, the dynamic interactions between the periodic excitation and the stable bifurcating solutions can induce resonant behaviour in the forced response when the forcing frequency and the frequencies of Hopf bifurcations satisfy certain relationships. Under hard excitations, the forced response of the time-delayed nonlinear oscillator can exhibit three types of secondary resonances, which are super-harmonic resonance at half the lower Hopf bifurcation frequency, sub-harmonic resonance at two times the higher Hopf bifurcation frequency and additive resonance at the sum of two Hopf bifurcation frequencies. With the help of centre manifold theorem and the method of multiple scales, the secondary resonance response of the time-delayed nonlinear oscillator following two-to-one resonant Hopf bifurcations is studied based on a set of four averaged equations for the amplitudes and phases of the free-oscillation terms, which are obtained from the reduced four-dimensional ordinary differential equations for the flow on the centre manifold. The first-order approximate solutions and the nonlinear algebraic equations for the amplitudes and phases of the free-oscillation terms in the steady state solutions are derived for three secondary resonances. Frequency-response curves, time trajectories, phase portraits and Poincare sections are numerically obtained to show the secondary resonance response. Analytical results are found to be in good agreement with those of direct numerical integrations.     

神经网络时滞系统非共振双Hopf分岔及其广义同步

本文建立了具有自连接和抑制-兴奋型他连接的两个同性神经元模型。其中自连接是由于兴奋型的突触产生,而他连接则分别对应于两神经元兴奋、抑制型的突触。发现如果有兴奋型自连接就会有双Hopf分岔,而没有时滞自连接时双Hopf分岔就会消失,因此自连接引起了双Hopf分岔。作为一个例子,通过变动连接中的时滞和他连接中的比重,1／√2双Hopf分岔得到了详细研究。通过中心流形约化,分岔点邻域内各种不同的动力学行为得到了分类,并以解析形式表出。神经元活动的分岔路径得以表明。从得到的解析近似解可以发现,本文所研究的具有兴奋一抑制型他连接的两相同神经元的节律不能完全同步而只能广义同步。时滞也可以使其节律消失,两神经元变为非活动的。这些结果在控制神经网络关联记忆和设计人工神经网络方面有着潜在的应用。     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation in a three-neuron unidirectional ring with distributed delays

In this paper, we consider the effect of distributed delays in a three-neuron unidirectional ring. Sufficient conditions for existence of unique equilibrium, multiple equilibria and their local stability are derived. Taking the average delay as a bifurcation parameter, we find two critical values at which the system undergoes Hopf bifurcations. The orbital asymptotic stability of the Hopf bifurcating periodic solutions is investigated by using the method of multiple scales. The global Hopf bifurcation is also studied. Finally, the theoretical results are illustrated by some numerical simulations.     

Singularity Analysis on a Planar System with Multiple Delays

A planar model with multiple delays is studied. The singularities of the model and the corresponding bifurcations are investigated by using the standard dynamical results, center manifold theory and normal form method of retarded functional differential equations. It is shown that Bogdanov–Takens (BT) singularity for any time delays, and a serious of pitchfork and Hopf bifurcation can co-existent. The versal unfoldings of the normal forms at the BT singularity and the singularity of a pure imaginary and a zero eigenvalue are given, respectively. Numerical simulations have been provided to illustrate the theoretical predictions.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis of a new commensurate fractional-order hyperchaotic system

In this paper, a new fractional-order hyperchaotic system based on the Lorenz system is presented. The chaotic behaviors are validated by the positive Lyapunov exponents. Furthermore, the fractional Hopf bifurcation is investigated. It is found that the system admits Hopf bifurcations with varying fractional order and parameters, respectively. Under different bifurcation parameters, some conditions ensuring the Hopf bifurcations are proposed. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate and verify the results.     

Regenerative Tool Chatter Near a Codimension 2 Hopf Point Using Multiple Scales

We study a well-known regenerative machine tool vibration model (a delay differential equation) near a codimension 2 Hopf bifurcation point. The method of multiple scales is used directly, bypassing a center manifold reduction. We use a nonstandard choice of expansion parameter that helps understand practically relevant aspects of the dynamics for not-too-small amplitudes. Analytical expressions are then obtained for the double Hopf points. Both sub- and supercritical bifurcations are predicted to occur near the reference point; and analytical conditions on the parameter variations for each type of bifurcation to occur are obtained as well. Analytical approximations are supported by numerics.

Hopf bifurcation in delayed van der Pol oscillators

In this paper, we consider a classical van der Pol equation with a general delayed feedback. Firstly, by analyzing the associated characteristic equation, we derive a set of parameter values where the Hopf bifurcation occurs. Secondly, in the case of the standard Hopf bifurcation, the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions and bifurcation direction are determined by applying the normal form theorem and the center manifold theorem. Finally, a generalized Hopf bifurcation corresponding to non-semisimple double imaginary eigenvalues (case of 1:1 resonance) is analyzed by using a normal form approach.     

Analysis of Hopf and Takens–Bogdanov Bifurcations in a Modified van der Pol–Duffing Oscillator

We analyze a modified van der Pol–Duffing electronic circuit, modeled by a tridimensional autonomous system of differential equations with Z₂-symmetry. Linear codimension-one and two bifurcations of equilibria give rise to several dynamical behaviours, including periodic, homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. The local analysis provides, in first approximation, the different bifurcation sets. These local results are used as a guide to apply the adequate numerical methods to obtain a global understanding of the bifurcation sets. The study of the normal form of the Hopf bifurcation shows the presence of cusps of saddle-node bifurcations of periodic orbits. The existence of a codimension-four Hopf bifurcation is also pointed out. In the case of the Takens–Bogdanov bifurcation, several degenerate situations of codimension-three are analyzed in both homoclinic and heteroclinic cases. The existence of a Hopf–Shil'nikov singularity is also shown.     

Hopf and resonant double Hopf bifurcation in congestion control algorithm with heterogeneous delays

The congestion control algorithm, which has dynamic adaptations at both user ends and link ends, with heterogeneous delays is considered and analyzed. Some general stability criteria involving the delays and the system parameters are derived by generalized Nyquist criteria. Furthermore, by choosing one of the delays as the bifurcation parameter, and when the delay exceeds a critical value, a limit cycle emerges via a Hopf bifurcation. Resonant double Hopf bifurcation is also found to occur in this model. An efficient perturbation-incremental method is presented to study the delay-induced resonant double Hopf bifurcation. For the bifurcation parameter close to a double Hopf point, the approximate expressions of the periodic solutions are updated iteratively by use of the perturbation-incremental method. Simulation results have verified and demonstrated the correctness of the theoretical results.     

Modified post-bifurcation dynamics and routes to chaos from double-Hopf bifurcations in a hyperchaotic system

In order to understand the onset of hyperchaotic behavior recently observed in many systems, we study bifurcations in the modified Chen system leading from simple dynamics into chaotic regimes. In particular, we demonstrate that the existence of only one fixed point of the system in all regions of parameter space implies that this simple point attractor may only be destabilized via a Hopf or double Hopf bifurcation as system parameters are varied. Saddle-node, transcritical and pitchfork bifurcations are precluded. The normal form immediately following double Hopf bifurcations is constructed analytically by the method of multiple scales. Analysis of this generalized double Hopf normal form along standard lines reveals possible regimes of periodic solutions, two-period tori, and three-period tori in parameter space. However, considering these more carefully, we find that only certain combinations or sequences of these dynamical regimes are possible, while others derived and considered in earlier work are in fact mathematically impossible. We also discuss the post-bifurcation dynamics in the context of two intermittent routes to chaos (routes following either (i) subcritical or (ii) supercritical Hopf or double Hopf bifurcations). In particular, the route following supercritical bifurcations is somewhat subtle. Such behavior following repeated Hopf bifurcations is well-known and widely observed, including in the classical Ruelle?CTakens and quasiperiodic routes to chaos. However, to the best of our knowledge, it has not been considered in the context of the double-Hopf normal form, although it has been numerically observed and tracked in the post-double Hopf regime. Numerical simulations are employed to corroborate these various predictions from the normal form. They reveal the existence of stable periodic and toroidal attractors in the post-supercritical-Hopf cases, and either attractors at infinity or bounded chaotic dynamics following subcritical Hopf bifurcations. Future work will map out the remainder of the routes into the chaotic regimes, including further bifurcations of the post-supercritical-Hopf two- and three-tori via either torus doubling or breakdown.     

A paradigmatic system to study the transition from zero/Hopf to double-zero/Hopf bifurcation

A two-d.o.f.?system experiencing codimension-three double-zero/Hopf bifurcation is considered. This is a special bifurcation which simultaneously involves a defective and a nondefective pair of critical eigenvalues, therefore, requiring a perturbation method specifically tailored on it. A nonstandard version of the multiple scale method is implemented, in which fractional power expansions, both for state-variables and time are used, and high-order arbitrary amplitudes are introduced. Bifurcation equations are obtained, governing the slow flow on the center manifold, which turns out to be tangent to the space spanned by the four critical eigenvectors. These are used to analyze the transition from codimension-three to codimension-two single-zero/Hopf bifurcations, occurring when the modulus of the damping is increased from small to order-one values. Bifurcation charts are obtained, displaying the role of quasi-periodic motions in the transition.
