On the Direction of Pitchfork Bifurcation

چکیده
We present an algorithm for computing the direction of pitchfork bifurcation for two-point boundary value problems. The formula is rather involved, but its computational evaluation is quite feasible. As an application, we obtain a multiplicity result.

A Remark on heteroclinic bifurcations Near Steady State/Pitchfork bifurcations
We consider a bifurcation that occurs in some two-dimensional vector fields, namely a codimension-one bifurcation in which there is simultaneously the creation of a pair of equilibria via a steady state bifurcation and the destruction of a large amplitude periodic orbit. We show that this phenomenon may occur in an unfolding of the saddle-node/pitchfork normal form equations, although not near ...
متن کاملBifurcation analysis and dynamics of a Lorenz –type dynamical system
./files/site1/files/0Abstract1.pdfIn this paper we consider a continues Lorenz – type dynamical system. Dynamical behaviors of this system such as computing equilibrium points, different bifurcation curves and computation of normal form coefficient of each bifurcation point analytically and numerically. In particular we derived sufficient conditions for existence of Hopf and Pitchfork bifurcati...
متن کامل1 N ov 1 99 9 The geometry of bifurcation surfaces in parameter space . I . A walk through the pitchfork
The classical pitchfork of singularity theory is a twice-degenerate bifurcation that typically occurs in dynamical system models exhibiting Z2 symmetry. Nonclassical pitchfork singularities also occur in many non-symmetric systems, where the total bifurcation environment is usually more complex. In this paper threedimensional manifolds of critical points, or limit-point shells, are introduced b...
متن کاملThe Non-smooth Pitchfork Bifurcation
The bifurcations of strange nonchaotic attractors in quasi-periodically forced systems are poorly understood. A simple two-parameter example is introduced which unifies previous observations of the non-smooth pitchfork bifurcation. There are two types of generalized pitchfork bifurcation which occur in this example, and the corresponding bifurcation curves can be calculated analytically. The ex...
متن کاملPatterns of oscillation in a Ring of Identical Cells with Delayed Coupling
We investigate the behaviour of a neural network model consisting of three neurons with delayed self and nearest-neighbour connections. We give analytical results on the existence, stability and bifurcation of nontrivial equilibria of the system. We show the existence of codimension two bifurcation points involving both standard and D3-equivariant, Hopf and pitchfork bifurcation points. We use ...
