We show in a rigorous way that a stable internal single-layer stationary solution is destabilized by the Hopf bifurcation as the time constant exceeds a certain critical value. Moreover, the exact critical value and the exact period of…
We consider a Hamiltonian system with 2 degrees of freedom, with a hyperbolic equilibrium point having a loop or homoclinic orbit (or, alternatively, two hyperbolic equilibrium points connected by a heteroclinic orbit), as a step towards…
In this work we consider a general class of $2$-dimensional hybrid systems. Assuming that the system possesses an attracting equilibrium point, we show that, when periodically driven with a square-wave pulse, the system possesses a periodic…
We consider nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems defined over a non-resonant domain. In the neighborhood of resonances, we use Nekhoroshev-like estimates to provide effective stability bounds for the action variables over long time. The…
Symplectic mappings of the plane serve as key models for exploring the fundamental nature of complex behavior in nonlinear systems. Central to this exploration is the effective visualization of stability regimes, which enables the…
A planet orbiting around a star in a binary system can be ejected if it lies too far from its host star. We find that instability boundaries first obtained in numerical studies can be explained by overlap between sub-resonances within…
In a smooth dynamical system, a homoclinic connection is a closed orbit returning to a saddle equilibrium. Under perturbation, homoclinics are associated with bifurcations of periodic orbits, and with chaos in higher dimensions. Homoclinic…
We study the dynamics of a two-planet system, which evolves being in a $1/1$ mean motion resonance (co-orbital motion) with non-zero mutual inclination. In particular, we examine the existence of bifurcations of periodic orbits from the…
This paper investigates the global structures of periodic orbits that appear in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, which is modeled by a two-dimensional perturbed Hamiltonian model, by focusing upon resonance, symmetry and bifurcation of the…
Autonomous sustained oscillations are ubiquitous in living and nonliving systems. As open systems, far from thermodynamic equilibrium, they defy entropic laws which mandate convergence to stationarity. We present structural conditions on…
An approximate Poincare map near equally strong multiple resonances is reduced by means the method of averaging. Near the resonance junction of three degrees of freedom, we find that some homoclinic orbits ``whiskers'' in single resonance…
We describe the families of periodic orbits in the 2-dimensional 1/2 retrograde resonance at mass ratio 0.001, analyzing their stability and bifurcations into 3-dimensional periodic orbits. We explain the role played by periodic orbits in…
The orbits in the HD 160691 planetary system at first appeared highly unstable, but using the MEGNO and FLI techniques of global dynamics analysis in the orbital parameter space we have found a stabilizing mechanism that could be the key to…
The dynamics of a model, originally proposed for a type of instability in plastic flow, has been investigated in detail. The bifurcation portrait of the system in two physically relevant parameters exhibits a rich variety of dynamical…
We consider a singularly perturbed second order elliptic system in the whole space. The coefficients of the systems fast oscillate and depend both of slow and fast variables. We obtain the homogenized operator and in the uniform norm sense…
We propose a classification of bifurcations of Vlasov equations, based on the strength of the resonance between the unstable mode and the continuous spectrum on the imaginary axis. We then identify and characterize a new type of generic…
Driven quantum nonlinear oscillators, while essential for quantum technologies, are generally prone to complex chaotic dynamics that fall beyond the reach of perturbative analysis. By focusing on subharmonic bifurcations of a harmonically…
We use perturbation theory and bifurcation theory to analyze the dynamical behavior of resonances, associated to a model describing a particle moving within a ring around a celestial object. The central body is modeled as a homogeneous…
Bifurcations of the $A_{n}$ type in Arnold's classification, in non-autonomous $p$-periodic difference equations generated by parameter depending families with $p$ maps, are studied. It is proved that the conditions of degeneracy,…
We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for Turing instabilities to occur in two-component systems of reaction-diffusion equations with Neumann boundary conditions. We apply this condition to reaction-diffusion systems built from…
