11. Bifurcations of Periodic Orbits
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This chapter and Chapter 13 use the theory of normal forms developed in Chapter 9. They contain an introduction to generic bifurcation theory and its applications. Bifurcation theory has grown into a vast subject with a large literature; so, this chapter can only present the basics of the theory. The primary focus of this chapter is the study of periodic solutions, their existence and evolution. Periodic solutions abound in Hamiltonian systems. In fact, a famous Poincaré conjecture is that periodic solutions are dense in a generic Hamiltonian system, a point that was established in the C case by Pugh and Robinson (1983).

Bifurcations from one-parameter families of symmetric periodic orbits in reversible systems
We study bifurcations from one-parameter families of symmetric periodic orbits in reversible systems and give simple criteria for subharmonic symmetric periodic orbits to be born from the one-parameter families. Our result is illustrated for a generalization of the Hénon-Heiles system. In particular, it is shown that there exist infinitely many families of symmetric periodic orbits bifurcating ...
متن کاملNumerical Continuation of Symmetric Periodic Orbits
The bifurcation theory and numerics of periodic orbits of general dynamical systems is well developed, and in recent years there has been rapid progress in the development of a bifurcation theory for symmetric dynamical systems. But there are hardly any results on the numerical computation of those bifurcations yet. In this paper we show how spatiotemporal symmetries of periodic orbits can be e...
متن کاملGlobal analysis of periodic orbit bifurcations in coupled Morse oscillator systems: time-reversal symmetry, permutational representations and codimension-2 collisions.
In this paper we study periodic orbit bifurcation sequences in a system of two coupled Morse oscillators. Time-reversal symmetry is exploited to determine periodic orbits by iteration of symmetry lines. The permutational representation of Tsuchiya and Jaffe is employed to analyze periodic orbit configurations on the symmetry lines. Local pruning rules are formulated, and a global analysis of po...
متن کاملPeriodic orbits near bifurcations of codimension two: Classical mechanics, semiclassics and Stokes transitions
We investigate classical and semiclassical aspects of codimension-two bifurcations of periodic orbits in Hamiltonian systems. A classification of these bifurcations in autonomous systems with two degrees of freedom or time-periodic systems with one degree of freedom is presented. We derive uniform approximations to be used in semiclassical trace formulae and determine also certain global bifurc...
متن کاملOn Bifurcations of Two - Dimensional Di eomorphismswith a Homoclinic
|Bifurcations of periodic orbits are studied for two-dimensional diieomorphisms close to a diieomorphism with the quadratic homoclinic tangency to a saddle xed point whose Jacobian is equal to one. Problems of the coexistence of periodic orbits of various types of stability are considered. INTRODUCTION It is well known that homoclinic bifurcations of two-dimensional diieomorphisms generally giv...
متن کاملOrbit bifurcations and the scarring of wavefunctions
We extend the semiclassical theory of scarring of quantum eigenfunctions n(q) by classical periodic orbits to include situations where these orbits undergo generic bifurcations. It is shown that j n(q)j , averaged locally with respect to position q and the energy spectrum fEng, has structure around bifurcating periodic orbits with an amplitude and length-scale whose ~-dependence is determined b...
