The geometry of resonance tongues: a singularity theory approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resonance tongues and their boundaries are studied for nondegenerate and (certain) degenerate Hopf bifurcations of maps using singularity theory methods of equivariant contact equivalence and universal unfoldings. We recover the standard theory of tongues (the nondegenerate case) in a straightforward way and we find certain surprises in the tongue boundary structure when degeneracies are present. For example, the tongue boundaries at degenerate singularities in weak resonance are much blunter than expected from the nondegenerate theory. Also at a semi-global level we find ‘pockets’ or ‘flames’ that can be understood in terms of the swallowtail catastrophe. Mathematics Subject Classification: 37G15, 37G40, 34C25

Geometry of resonance tongues
Resonance tongues arise in bifurcations of discrete or continuous dynamical systems undergoing bifurcations of a fixed point or an equilibrium satisfying certain resonance conditions. They occur in several different contexts, depending, for example, on whether the dynamics is dissipative, conservative, or reversible. Generally, resonance tongues are domains in parameter space, with periodic dyn...
متن کاملPerturbing a Symmetric Resonance: the Magnetic Spherical Pendulum
We consider symmetric 2 degree of freedom Hamiltonian systems which are resonant because of the symmetry, such as the spherical pendulum. Perturbing such a system by breaking the symmetry (e.g. adding a magnetic term) creates bifur-cations in the geometry of the families of periodic orbits, and the aim of this paper is to study this geometry. For brevity, we consider only the cases of symmetry ...

متن کاملShrinking Point Bifurcations of Resonance Tongues for Piecewise-Smooth, Continuous Maps
Resonance tongues are mode-locking regions of parameter space in which stable periodic solutions occur; they commonly occur, for example, near Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. For piecewise-smooth, continuous maps these tongues typically have a distinctive lens-chain (or sausage) shape in two-parameter bifurcation diagrams. We give a symbolic description of a class of “rotational” periodic solution...
