Applications of the signs of Melnikov's function

The existence and stability of peridic solutions for the two-dimensional system x′=f(x)+g(x, a), O<ε<1,a∈R whoseunperturbed system is Hamlitonan be decided by using the signs of Melnikov's function. Theresults can be applied to the comstuction of phase portralts in the bifiacation set of codimension two bifurcations of flows with double aero eignvahues.     

Predicting Homoclinic Bifurcations in Planar Autonomous Systems

An analytical method to predict the homoclinic bifurcation in a planar autonomous self-excited weakly nonlinear oscillator is presented. The method is mainly based on the collision between the periodic orbit undergoing the homoclinic bifurcation and the saddle fixed point. To illustrate the analytical predictive criteria, two typical examples are investigated. The results obtained in this work are then compared to Melnikov's technique and to a previous criterion based on the vanishing of the frequency. Numerical simulations are also provided.

Bifurcation of periodic solution in a Predator–Prey type of systems with non-monotonic response function and periodic perturbation

A Predator–Prey type of dynamical systems with non-monotonic response function and time-periodic perturbation is considered in this paper. We present a proof for the number of equilibria in the unperturbed system at some parts of the parameter space. The perturbed system is a dynamical system defined by a periodic vector field. We present an alternative proof for a classical result on the period of the periodic solution. By using a numerical continuation method AUTO (Doedel et al., 1986 [9]), we present a bifurcation analysis for periodic solution of the perturbed system where we found fold, cusp and Swallowtail bifurcations.     

Bifurcations in Nonlinear Discontinuous Systems

This paper treats bifurcations of periodic solutions indiscontinuous systems of the Filippov type. Furthermore, bifurcations offixed points in non-smooth continuous systems are addressed. Filippov'stheory for the definition of solutions of discontinuous systems issurveyed and jumps in fundamental solution matrices are discussed. It isshown how jumps in the fundamental solution matrix lead to jumps of theFloquet multipliers of periodic solutions. The Floquet multipliers canjump through the unit circle causing discontinuous bifurcations.Numerical examples are treated which show various discontinuousbifurcations. Also infinitely unstable periodic solutions are addressed.     

Writhing instabilities of twisted rods: from infinite to finite length

We use three different approaches to describe the static spatial configurations of a twisted rod as well as its stability during rigid loading experiments. The first approach considers the rod as infinite in length and predicts an instability causing a jump to self-contact at a certain point of the experiment. Semi-finite corrections, taken into account as a second approach, reveal some possible experiments in which the configuration of a very long rod will be stable through out. Finally, in a third approach, we consider a rod of real finite length and we show that another type of instability may occur, leading to possible hysteresis behavior. As we go from infinite to finite length, we compare the different information given by the three approaches on the possible equilibrium configurations of the rod and their stability. These finite size effects studied here in a 1D elasticity problem could help us guess what are the stability features of other more complicated (2D elastic shells for example) problems for which only the infinite length approach is understood.

Noisy precursors of nonlinear instabilities

This paper studies the effect of external noise on systems displaying nonlinear instabilities of periodic orbits. Each class of instability is found to have its own characteristic signature, as displayed by the power spectrum. Results are derived for each of the codimension-one instabilities familiar from bifurcation theory.
