Period-Doubling/Symmetry-Breaking Mode Interactions in Iterated Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider iterated maps with a reflectional symmetry. Possible bifurcations in such systems include period-doubling bifurcations (within the symmetric subspace) and symmetry-breaking bifurcations. By using a second parameter, these bifurcations can be made to coincide at a mode interaction. By reformulating the period-doubling bifurcation as a symmetry-breaking bifurcation, two bifurcation equations with Z2×Z2 symmetry are derived. A local analysis of solutions is then considered, including the derivation of conditions for a tertiary Hopf bifurcation. Applications to symmetrically coupled maps and to two coupled, vertically forced pendulums are described. PACS codes: 02.30Oz, 05.45Ra

Small-Signal Amplification of Period-Doubling Bifurcations in Smooth Iterated Maps.
Various authors have shown that, near the onset of a period-doubling bifurcation, small perturbations in the control parameter may result in much larger disturbances in the response of the dynamical system. Such amplification of small signals can be measured by a gain defined as the magnitude of the disturbance in the response divided by the perturbation amplitude. In this paper, the perturbed ...
متن کاملPeriod-Doubling Scenario without flip bifurcations in a One-Dimensional Map
In this work a one-dimensional piecewise-smooth dynamical system, representing a Poincaré return map for dynamical systems of the Lorenz type, is investigated. The system shows a bifurcation scenario similar to the classical period-doubling one, but which is influenced by socalled border collision phenomena and denoted as border collision period-doubling bifurcation scenario. This scenario is f...
متن کاملLandau and dynamical instabilities of the superflow of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices
The superfluidity of Bose-Einstein condensates ~BECs! in optical lattices is investigated. Apart from the usual Landau instability, which occurs when a BEC flows faster than the speed of sound, the BEC can also suffer a dynamical instability, resulting in period doubling and other sorts of symmetry breaking of the system. Such an instability plays a crucial role in the dissipative motion of a t...
متن کاملSwitching and symmetry breaking behaviour of discrete breathers in Josephson ladders
We investigate the roto-breathers recently observed in experiments on Josephson ladders subjected to a uniform transverse bias current. We describe the switching mechanism in which the number of rotating junctions increases. In the region close to switching we find that frequency locking, period doubling, quasi-periodic behaviour and symmetry breaking all occur. This suggests that a chaotic dyn...
متن کاملNumerical Bifurcation of Hamiltonian Relative Periodic Orbits
Relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems and occur for example in celestial mechanices, molecular dynamics and rigid body motion. RPOs are solutions which are periodic orbits of the symmetry-reduced system. In this paper we analyze certain symmetry-breaking bifurcations of Hamiltonian relative periodic orbits and show how they can be detected and computed ...
