We consider bifurcation of critical points from a trivial branch for families of functionals that are invariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group. Based on a recent construction of an equivariant spectral flow by the…
Non-Hermitian matrices are ubiquitous in the description of nature ranging from classical dissipative systems, including optical, electrical, and mechanical metamaterials, to scattering of waves and open quantum many-body systems. Seminal…
We study Hopf bifurcation from traveling-front solutions in the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The primary front is induced by a moving source term. Models of this form have been used to study a variety of physical phenomena, including pattern…
We examine the dynamics of solutions to nonlinear Schrodinger/Gross-Pitaevskii equations that arise due to Hamiltonian Hopf (HH) bifurcations--the collision of pairs of eigenvalues on the imaginary axis. To this end, we use inverse…
The concept of spectrum for a class of non-linear wave equations is studied. Instead of looking for stability, the key to the spectral structure is found in the instability phenomena (bifurcations). This aspect is best seen in the…

Oscillatory instabilities in Hamiltonian anharmonic lattices are known to appear through Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations of certain time-periodic solutions of multibreather type. Here, we analyze the basic mechanisms for this scenario by…
We explore the bifurcation structure of a modified Cahn-Hilliard equation that describes a system that may undergo a first order phase transition and is kept permanently out of equilibrium by a lateral driving. This forms a simple model,…
We study a class of 2-dimensional Hamiltonian systems $H(x,y,p_x,p_y)=\frac12(p_x^2+p_y^2) +V(x,y)$ in which the plane $x$=$p_x$=0 is invariant under the Hamiltonian flow, so that straight-line librations along the y axis exist, and we also…

The problem of linear instability of a nonlinear traveling wave in a canonical Hamiltonian system with translational symmetry subject to superharmonic perturbations is discussed. It is shown that exchange of stability occurs when energy is…
We consider dynamical systems depending on one or more real parameters, and assuming that, for some ``critical'' value of the parameters, the eigenvalues of the linear part are resonant, we discuss the existence -- under suitable hypotheses…
Bifurcation analysis collects techniques for characterizing the dependence of certain classes of solutions of a dynamical system on variations in problem parameters. Common solution classes of interest include equilibria and periodic…
Dynamists have been studying Hamiltonian systems for a long time. However, many physical systems are dissipative and do not preserve a symplectic form. This is the case, for example, with systems involving friction, which multiply the…
We present an adaptation of the so-called structural method \cite{CMM23} for Hamiltonian systems, and redesign the method for this specific context, which involves two coupled differential systems. Structural schemes decompose the problem…
