Jakobson’s Theorem near saddle-node bifurcations

Intermittency and Jakobson’s theorem near saddle-node bifurcations

We discuss one parameter families of unimodal maps, with negative Schwarzian derivative, unfolding a saddle-node bifurcation. We show that there is a parameter set of positive but not full Lebesgue density at the bifurcation, for which the maps exhibit absolutely continuous invariant measures which are supported on the largest possible interval. We prove that these measures converge weakly to a...

Hopf-saddle-node bifurcation for fixed points of 3D-diffeomorphisms: analysis of a resonance ‘bubble’

The dynamics near a Hopf-saddle-node bifurcation of fixed points of diffeomorphisms is analysed by means of a case study: a two-parameter model map G is constructed, such that at the central bifurcation the derivative has two complex conjugate eigenvalues of modulus one and one real eigenvalue equal to 1. To investigate the effect of resonances, the complex eigenvalues are selected to have a 1:...

Delay-Induced Multistability Near a Global bifurcation

We study the effect of a time-delayed feedback within a generic model for a saddle-node bifurcation on a limit cycle. Without delay the only attractor below this global bifurcation is a stable node. Delay renders the phase space infinite-dimensional and creates multistability of periodic orbits and the fixed point. Homoclinic bifurcations, period-doubling and saddle-node bifurcations of limit c...

Slowly Coupled Oscillators: Phase Dynamics and Synchronization

In this paper we extend the results of Frankel and Kiemel [SIAM J. Appl. Math, 53 (1993), pp. 1436–1446] to a network of slowly coupled oscillators. First, we use Malkin’s theorem to derive a canonical phase model that describes synchronization properties of a slowly coupled network. Then, we illustrate the result using slowly coupled oscillators (1) near Andronov–Hopf bifurcations, (2) near sa...
