Since the seminal work by H.L.F. Helmholtz in 1863, to understand the basic principles of hearing has been a great, but still unresolved, challenge for physicists. Some time ago, it has been pointed out (Egu\'{\i}luz et al., Phys. Rev.…
We investigate the evolution of families of periodic orbits in a bisymmetrical potential made up of a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator with only one quartic perturbing term, in a number of resonant cases. Our main objective is to compute…
One- and two-parameter families of flows in $R^3$ near an Andronov-Hopf bifurcation (AHB) are investigated in this work. We identify conditions on the global vector field, which yield a rich family of multimodal orbits passing close to a…
{We study a model of small-amplitude traveling waves arising in a supercritical Hopf-bifurcation, that are coupled to a slowly varying, real field. The field is advected by the waves and, in turn, affects their stability via a coupling to…
The saddle-node bifurcation is the simplest example of a generic bifurcation in smooth ordinary differential equations, and is associated with the creation or destruction of a pair of equilibria. In this paper we examine the unfolding of…
The existence and bifurcation of homoclinic orbits in planar piecewise linear homogeneous systems with two regions separated by a discontinuity boundary are investigated in this paper. In addition, existence of periodic orbits and stability…
In this paper we use a traveling wave reduction or a so-called spatial approximation to comprehensively investigate the periodic solutions of the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation. The primary tools used here are Hopf…
We show that Pyragas delayed feedback control can stabilize an unstable periodic orbit (UPO) that arises from a generic subcritical Hopf bifurcation of a stable equilibrium in an n-dimensional dynamical system. This extends results of…
The logistic two-gene negative-feedback oscillator is locally asymptotically stable for all biological parameter values, since the trace of the Jacobian is uniformly negative. Real biological oscillators (circadian rhythms, the segmentation…
The cyclicity problem, crucial in analyzing planar vector fields, consists in estimating the number of limit cycles emanating from monodromic singularities. Traditionally, this estimation relies on Lyapunov coefficients. However, in…
A dynamical system that undergoes a supercritical Hopf's bifurcation is perturbed by a multiplicative Brownian motion that scales with a small parameter $\epsilon$. The random fluctuations of the system at the critical point are studied…
Competition of spatial and temporal instabilities under time delay near the codimension-two Turing-Hopf bifurcations is studied in a reaction-diffusion equation. The time delay changes remarkably the oscillation frequency, the intrinsic…

In this paper, we proposed a population model depicting the dynamics of a prey species showing group defence against a generalist predator. The group defence characteristic is represented by a non-monotonic functional response. We have…
We study the existence of patterns (nontrivial, stationary solutions) for one-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg Equation in a directional quenching scenario, that is, on $x\leq 0$ the energy potential associated to the equation is bistable,…
In this paper we analyse a dynamical system based on the so-called KCG (K\"all\'en, Crafoord, Ghil) conceptual climate model. This model describes an evolution of the globally averaged temperature and the average extent of the ice sheets.…
We analyze the nonlinear dynamics near the incoherent state in a mean-field model of coupled oscillators. The population is described by a Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution of phases, and we apply center-manifold reduction to…
We focus on the qualitative analysis of a reaction-diffusion with spatial heterogeneity. The system is a generalization of the well known FitzHugh-Nagumo system in which the excitability parameter is space dependent. This heterogeneity…
Motivated by a certain type of unfolding of a Hopf-Hopf singularity, we consider a one-parameter family $(f_\gamma)_{\gamma\geq0}$ of $C^3$--vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^4$ whose flows exhibit a heteroclinic cycle associated to two periodic…
We consider generic families $X_\param$ of smooth dynamical systems depending on parameters $\param\in P$ where $P$ is a 2-dimensional simply connected domain and assume that each $X_\param$ only has a finite number of restpoints and…
