Standing Pulse Solutions in Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Skew-Gradient Structure

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a reaction-diffusion system with skew-gradient structure and discuss the stability of standing pulse solutions. In short, the skew-gradient system is a reaction-diffusion system which resembles a gradient system but has nonlinearities with different sign. We assume the existence of a standing pulse solution and define its orientation in some geometrical manner. Then we show that the stationary solution becomes unstable if time constants satisfy some inequality. The Evans function plays a crucial role for the stability analysis.     

The Motion of Weakly Interacting Pulses in Reaction-Diffusion Systems

The interaction of stable pulse solutions on R ¹ is considered when distances between pulses are sufficiently large. We construct an attractive local invariant manifold giving the dynamics of interacting pulses in a mathematically rigorous way. The equations describing the flow on the manifold is also given in an explicit form. By it, we can easily analyze the movement of pulses such as repulsiveness, attractivity and/or the existence of bound states of pulses. Interaction of front solutions are also treated in a similar way.     

Existence of Standing Pulse Solutions to an Inhomogeneous Reaction–Diffusion System

We prove the existence of locally unique, symmetric standing pulse solutions to homogeneous and inhomogeneous versions of a certain reaction–diffusion system. This system models the evolution of photoexcited carrier density and temperature inside the cavity of a semiconductor Fabry–Pérot interferometer. Such pulses represent the fundamental nontrivial mode of pattern formation in this device. Our results follow from a geometric singular perturbation approach, based largely on Fenichel's theorems and the Exchange Lemma.     

Bifurcation of limit cycles in fluid film bearings

Rotors supported by journal bearings may become unstable due to self-excited vibrations when a critical rotor speed is exceeded. Linearised analysis is usually used to determine the stability boundaries. Non-linear bifurcation theory or numerical integration is required to predict stable or unstable periodic oscillations close to the critical speed. In this paper, a dynamic model of a short journal bearing is used to analyse the bifurcation of the steady state equilibrium point of the journal centre. Numerical continuation is applied to determine stable or unstable limit cycles bifurcating from the equilibrium point at the critical speed. Under certain working conditions, limit cycles themselves are shown to disappear beyond a certain rotor speed and to exhibit a fold bifurcation giving birth to unstable limit cycles surrounding the stable supercritical limit cycles. Numerical integration of the system of equations is used to support the results obtained by numerical continuation. Numerical simulation permitted a partial validation of the analytical investigation.

Diffusion-driven instability and Hopf bifurcation in Brusselator system

The Hopfbifurcation for the Brusselator ordinary-differential-equation （ODE） model and the corresponding partial-differential-equation （PDE） model are investigated by using the Hopf bifurcation theorem. The stability of the Hopf bifurcation periodic solution is discussed by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. When parameters satisfy some conditions, the spatial homogenous equilibrium solution and the spatial homogenous periodic solution become unstable. Our results show that if parameters are properly chosen, Hopf bifurcation does not occur for the ODE system, but occurs for the PDE system.     

Local Hopf bifurcation and global existence of periodic solutions in TCP system

This paper investigates the dynamics of a TCP system described by a first- order nonlinear delay differential equation. By analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation, it is shown that a Hopf bifurcation sequence occurs at the pos- itive equilibrium as the delay passes through a sequence of critical values. The explicit algorithms for determining the Hopf bifurcation direction and the stability of the bifur- cating periodic solutions are derived with the normal form theory and the center manifold theory. The global existence of periodic solutions is also established with the method of Wu （Wu, J. H. Symmetric functional differential equations and neural networks with memory.

Pulse Dynamics in a Three-Component System: Existence Analysis

In this article, we analyze the three-component reaction-diffusion system originally developed by Schenk et al. (PRL 78:3781–3784, 1997). The system consists of bistable activator-inhibitor equations with an additional inhibitor that diffuses more rapidly than the standard inhibitor (or recovery variable). It has been used by several authors as a prototype three-component system that generates rich pulse dynamics and interactions, and this richness is the main motivation for the analysis we present. We demonstrate the existence of stationary one-pulse and two-pulse solutions, and travelling one-pulse solutions, on the real line, and we determine the parameter regimes in which they exist. Also, for one-pulse solutions, we analyze various bifurcations, including the saddle-node bifurcation in which they are created, as well as the bifurcation from a stationary to a travelling pulse, which we show can be either subcritical or supercritical. For two-pulse solutions, we show that the third component is essential, since the reduced bistable two-component system does not support them. We also analyze the saddle-node bifurcation in which two-pulse solutions are created. The analytical method used to construct all of these pulse solutions is geometric singular perturbation theory, which allows us to show that these solutions lie in the transverse intersections of invariant manifolds in the phase space of the associated six-dimensional travelling wave system. Finally, as we illustrate with numerical simulations, these solutions form the backbone of the rich pulse dynamics this system exhibits, including pulse replication, pulse annihilation, breathing pulses, and pulse scattering, among others.      

Bifurcation and pattern formation in a coupled higher autocatalator reaction diffusion system

Spatiotemporal structures arising in two identical cells,which are governed by higher autocatalator kinetics and coupled via diffusive interchange of autocatalyst, are discussed.The stability of the unique homogeneous steady state is obtained by the linearized theory.A necessary condition for bifurcations in spatially non-uniform solutions in uncoupled and coupled systems is given.Further information about Turing pattern solutions near bifurcation points is obtained by weakly nonlinear theory.Finally,the stability of equilibrium points of the amplitude equation is discussed by weakly nonlinear theory,with the bifurcation branches of the weakly coupled system.     

Hopf bifurcation in general Brusselator system with diffusion

The general Brusselator system is considered under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. The existence results of the Hopf bifurcation to the ordinary differential equation (ODE) and partial differential equation (PDE) models are obtained. By the center manifold theory and the normal form method, the bifurcation direction and stability of periodic solutions are established. Moreover, some numerical simulations are shown to support the analytical results. At the same time, the positive steady-state solutions and spatially inhomogeneous periodic solutions are graphically shown to supplement the analytical results.     

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。     

Stretching surface in rotating viscoelastic fluid

The boundary layer flow over a stretching surface in a rotating viscoelastic fluid is considered. By applying a similarity transformation, the governing partial differ- ential equations are converted into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations before being solved numerically by the Keller-box method. The effects of the viscoelastic and rotation parameters on the skin friction coefficients and the velocity profiles are thor- oughly examined. The analysis reveals that the skin friction coefficients and the velocity in the x-direction increase as the viscoelastic parameter and the rotation parameter in- crease. Moreover, the velocity in the y-direction decreases as the viscoelastic parameter and the rotation parameter increase.     

A Direct Approach to Homoclinic Orbits in the Fast Dynamics of Singularly Perturbed Systems

Homoclinic orbits in the fast dynamics of singular perturbation problems are usually analyzed by a combination of Fenichel's invariant manifold theory with general transversality arguments (see Ref. 29 and the Exchange Lemma in Ref. 16). In this paper an alternative direct approach is developed which uses a two-time scaling and a contraction argument in exponentially weighted spaces. Homoclinic orbits with one last transition are treated and it is shown how -expansions can be extracted rigorously from this approach. The result is applied to a singularity perturbed Bogdanov point in the FitzHugh–Nagumo system.Supported by DFG Schwerpunktprogramm Ergodentheorie, Analysis und effiziente Simulation dynamischer Systeme..     

Algebraic Methods for Determining Hamiltonian Hopf Bifurcations in Three-Degree-of-Freedom Systems

A method is sketched to determine the presence of non-degenerate Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations in three-degree-of-freedom systems by putting the bifurcation into standard form. Detailed computations are performed for the non-trivial example of the 3D Hénon–Heiles family. After a careful formulation of the local once reduced system in terms of properly chosen invariants the system can be compared to the standard form by the application of singularity theoretic results.
