Mean-field systems have been recently derived that adequately predict the behaviors of large networks of coupled integrate-and-fire neurons [14]. The mean-field system for a network of neurons with spike frequency adaptation is typically a…

In this article we study asymptotic slopes of strongly semistable vector bundles on a smooth projective surface. A connection between asymptotic slopes and strong restriction theorem of a strongly semistable vector bundle is shown. We also…
In this paper a model reduction technique is introduced for piecewise-smooth (PWS) vector fields, whose trajectories fall into a Banach space, but the domain of definition of the vector fields is a non-dense subset of the Banach space. The…
This paper is part of a series of papers on differential geometry of $C^\infty$-ringed spaces. In this paper, we study vector fields and their flows on a class of singular spaces. Our class includes arbitrary subspaces of manifolds, as well…
We review recent developments in structural stability as applied to key topics in general relativity. For a nonlinear dynamical system arising from the Einstein equations by a symmetry reduction, bifurcation theory fully characterizes the…
In this paper we describe the bifurcation diagram of the$2$-parameter family of vector fields $\dot z = z(z^k+\epsilon_1z+\epsilon_0)$ over $\mathbb C\mathbb P^1$ for $(\epsilon_1,\epsilon_0)\in \mathbb C^2$. There are two kinds of…
We report the experimental study of the bifurcations of a large-scale circulation that is formed over a turbulent flow generated by a spatially periodic forcing. After shortly describing how the flow becomes turbulent through a sequence of…
Francesco Severi showed that equisingular families of plane nodal curves are T-smooth, i.e. smooth of the expected dimension, whenever they are non-empty. For families with more complicated singularities this is no longer true. Given a…
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…
The border-collision normal form is a piecewise-linear family of continuous maps that describe the dynamics near border-collision bifurcations. Most prior studies assume each piece of the normal form is invertible, as is generic from an…
We derive the bifurcation set for a not previously considered three-parametric Bogdanov-Takens unfolding, showing that it is possible express its vector field as two different perturbed cubic Hamiltonians. By using several first-order…
This paper introduces $\infty$- and $n$-fold vector bundles as special functors from the $\infty$- and $n$-cube categories to the category of smooth manifolds. We study the cores and "n-pullbacks" of $n$-fold vector bundles and we prove…
There are few explicit examples in the literature of vector fields exhibiting complex dynamics that may be proved analytically. This paper reports numerical experiments performed for an explicit two-parameter family of vector fields…
Singularities of the Poynting vector field at resonant light scattering by nanoparticles are discussed and classified. It is shown that there are two generic types of them, namely (i) the singularities related to the vanishing of the…
Gradient vector fields are fundamental objects from both theoretical and practical perspectives, since various phenomena can be modeled within this framework. The ``moduli space'' of such vector fields provides the foundation for describing…

This article studies routes to chaos occurring within a resonance wedge for a 3-parametric family of differential equations acting on a 3-sphere. Our starting point is an autonomous vector field whose flow exhibits a weakly attracting…
It is known that $C^r$ Morse-Smale vector fields form an open dense subset in the space of vector fields on orientable closed surfaces and are structurally stable for any $r \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. In particular, $C^r$ Morse vector fields…
