Codimension 2 reversible heteroclinic bifurcations with inclination flips

In this paper, the heteroclinic bifurcation problem with real eigenvalues and two inclination-flips is investigated in a four-dimensional reversible system. We perform a detailed study of this case by using the method originally established in the papers “Problems in Homoclinic Bifurcation with Higher Dimensions” and “Bifurcation of Heteroclinic Loops,” and obtain fruitful results, such as the existence and coexistence of R-symmetric homoclinic orbit and R-symmetric heteroclinic loops, R-symmetric homoclinic orbit and R-symmetric periodic orbit. The double R-symmetric homoclinic bifurcation (i.e., two-fold R-symmetric homoclinic bifurcation) for reversible heteroclinic loops is found, and the existence of infinitely many R-symmetric periodic orbits accumulating onto a homoclinic orbit is demonstrated. The relevant bifurcation surfaces and the existence regions are also located. This work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 10671069)     

Degenerate Orbit Flip Homoclinic Bifurcations with Higher Dimensions

Bifurcations of a degenerate homoclinic orbit with orbit flip in high dimensional system are studied. By establishing a local coordinate system and a Poincaré map near the homoclinic orbit, the existence and uniqueness of 1–homoclinic orbit and 1–periodic orbit are given. Also considered is the existence of 2–homoclinic orbit and 2–periodic orbit. In additon, the corresponding bifurcation surfaces are given.

Bifurcations of heteroclinic loops

By generalizing the Floquet method from periodic systems to systems with exponential dichotomy, a local coordinate system is established in a neighborhood of the heteroclinic loop Γ to study the bifurcation problems of homoclinic and periodic orbits. Asymptotic expressions of the bifurcation surfaces and their relative positions are given. The results obtained in literature concerned with the 1-hom bifurcation surfaces are improved and extended to the nontransversal case. Existence regions of the 1-per orbits bifurcated from Γ are described, and the uniqueness and incoexistence of the 1-hom and 1-per orbit and the inexistence of the 2-hom and 2-per orbit are also obtained.

This paper was completed when the first author was visiting Northwestern University.     

Bifurcations of Fine 3-point-loop in Higher Dimensional Space

By using the linear independent fundamental solutions of the linear variational equation along the heteroclinic loop to establish a suitable local coordinate system in some small tubular neighborhood of the heteroclinic loop, the Poincaré map is constructed to study the bifurcation problems of a fine 3–point loop in higher dimensional space. Under some transversal conditions and the non–twisted condition, the existence, coexistence and incoexistence of 2–point–loop, 1–homoclinic orbit, simple 1–periodic orbit and 2–fold 1–periodic orbit, and the number of 1–periodic orbits are studied. Moreover, the bifurcation surfaces and existence regions are given. Lastly, the above bifurcation results are applied to a planar system and an inside stability criterion is obtained.

Homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits for a class of Hamiltonian systems

The existence of a rich structure of homoclinic and heteroclinic solutions is established for a family of Hamiltonian systems that serve as a simpler model for the multiple pendulum system. The proof is based on recently developed arguments from the calculus of variations that have proved useful in finding actual solutions of an equation near approximate solution.This research was sponsorted in part by the National Science Foundation under grant #MCS-8110556 and the U.

Exact traveling wave solutions and dynamical behavior for the (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> + 1)-dimensional multiple sine-Gordon equation

Using the methods of dynamical systems for the (n + 1)-dimensional multiple sine-Gordon equation, the existences of uncountably infinite many periodic wave solutions and breaking bounded wave solutions are obtained. For the double sine-Gordon equation, the exact explicit parametric representations of the bounded traveling solutions are given. To guarantee the existence of the above solutions, all parameter conditions are determined.

Asymptotic Speed of Wave Propagation for A Discrete Reaction-Diffusion Equation

We deal with asymptotic speed of wave propagation for a discrete reactlon-diffusion equation. We find the minimal wave speed c★ from the characteristic equation and show that c★ is just the asymptotic speed of wave propagation. The isotropic property and the existence of solution of the initial value problem for the given equation are also discussed.

Local structure-preserving algorithms for partial differential equations

In this paper, we discuss the concept of local structure-preserving algorithms (SPAs) for partial differential equations, which are the natural generalization of the corresponding global SPAs. Local SPAs for the problems with proper boundary conditions are global SPAs, but the inverse is not necessarily valid. The concept of the local SPAs can explain the difference between different SPAs and provide a basic theory for analyzing and constructing high performance SPAs. Furthermore, it enlarges the applicable scopes of SPAs. We also discuss the application and the construction of local SPAs and derive several new SPAs for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation.
