Numerical Detection and Continuation of Saddle-node Homoclinic Bifurcations of Codimension One and Two
نویسنده
چکیده
An extension of an existing truncated boundary-value method for the numerical continuation of connecting orbits is proposed to deal with homoclinic orbits to a saddle-node equilibrium. In contrast to previous numerical work by Schecter and Friedman & Doedel, the method is based on (linear) projection boundary conditions. These boundary conditions , with extra deening conditions for a saddle-node, naturally allow the continuation of codimension-one curves of saddle-node homoclinic orbits. A new test function is motivated for detecting codimension-two points at which loci of saddle-nodes and homoclinic orbits become detached. Two methods for continuing such codim 2 points in three parameters are discussed. The numerical methods are applied to two example systems, modelling a DC Josephson Junction and CO-oxidation. For the former model existing numerical results are recovered and extended; for the latter, new dynamical features are uncovered. All computations are performed using auto.

When Shil'nikov Meets Hopf in Excitable Systems
This paper considers a hierarchy of mathematical models of excitable media in one spatial dimension, specifically the FitzHugh–Nagumo equation and several models of the dynamics of intracellular calcium. A common feature of the models is that they support solitary traveling pulse solutions which lie on a characteristic C-shaped curve of wave speed versus parameter. This C lies to the left of a ...
متن کاملGlobal Invariant Manifolds Near Homoclinic Orbits to a Real Saddle: (Non)Orientability and Flip Bifurcation
Homoclinic bifurcations are important phenomena that cause global re-arrangements of the dynamics in phase space, including changes to basins of attractions and the generation of chaotic dynamics. We consider here a homoclinic (or connecting) orbit that converges in both forward and backward time to a saddle equilibrium of a three-dimensional vector field. We assume that the saddle is such that...
متن کاملBelyakov Homoclinic Bifurcations in a Tritrophic Food Chain Model
Complex dynamics of the most frequently used tritrophic food chain model are investigated in this paper. First it is shown that the model admits a sequence of pairs of Belyakov bifurcations (codimension-two homoclinic orbits to a critical node). Then fold and period-doubling cycle bifurcation curves associated to each pair of Belyakov points are computed and analyzed. The overall bifurcation sc...
متن کاملSaddle Invariant Objects and Their Global Manifolds in a Neighborhood of a Homoclinic Flip Bifurcation of Case B
When a real saddle equilibrium in a three-dimensional vector field undergoes a homoclinic bifurcation, the associated two-dimensional invariant manifold of the equilibrium closes on itself in an orientable or non-orientable way, provided the corresponding genericity conditions. We are interested in the interaction between global invariant manifolds of saddle equilibria and saddle periodic orbit...
متن کاملDetection of symmetric homoclinic orbits to saddle-centres in reversible systems
We present a perturbation technique for the detection of symmetric homoclinic orbits to saddle-centre equilibria in reversible systems of ordinary differential equations. We assume that the unperturbed system has primary, symmetric homoclinic orbits, which may be either isolated or appear in a family, and use an idea similar to that of Melnikov’s method to detect homoclinic orbits in their neig...
