In this paper we analyze the heteroclinic cycle and the Hopf bifurcation of a generic dynamical system with the symmetry of the group $\mathbf{Q}_8,$ constructed via a Cayley graph. While the Hopf bifurcation is similar to that of a…
Heteroclinic connections are trajectories that link invariant sets for an autonomous dynamical flow: these connections can robustly form networks between equilibria, for systems with flow-invariant spaces. In this paper we examine the…
We solve the problem of topological classification for smooth structurally stable flows on closed four-dimensional manifolds, the non-wandering set of which contains exactly two saddle equilibria, and the wandering set contains isolated…
A heterodimensional cycle consists of a pair of heteroclinic connections between two saddle periodic orbits with unstable manifolds of different dimensions. Recent theoretical work on chaotic dynamics beyond the uniformly hyperbolic setting…
In this paper we study structurally stable homoclinic classes. In a natural way, the structural stability for an individual homoclinic class is defined through the continuation of periodic points. Since the homoclinic classes is not…
We study diffeomorphisms $f$ with heterodimensional cycles, that is, heteroclinic cycles associated to saddles $p$ and $q$ with different indices. Such a cycle is called fragile if there is no diffeomorphism close to $f$ with a robust cycle…
We prove the existence of minimal heteroclinic orbits for a class of fourth order O.D.E. systems with variational structure. In our general set-up, the set of equilibria of these systems is a union of manifolds, and the heteroclinic orbits…
We construct open sets of degenerate unfoldings of heterodimensional cycles of any co-index $c>0$ and homoclinic tangencies of arbitrary codimension $c>0$. These sets are known to be the support of unexpected phenomena in families of…
This article is concerned with three heteroclinic cycles forming a heteroclinic network in ${\mathbb R}^6$. The stability of the cycles and of the network are studied. The cycles are of a type that has not been studied before, and provide…
Homoclinic and heteroclinic connections can form cycles and networks in phase space, which organize global phenomena in dynamical systems. On the one hand, stability notions for (omni)cycles give insight into how many initial conditions…
We consider reversible vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ such that the set of fixed points of the involutory reversing symmetry is $n$-dimensional. Let such system have a smooth one-parameter family of symmetric periodic orbits which is of…
A. Gasull shared a list of 33 open problems in low dimensional dynamical systems in his work in 2021. The second part of Problem 3 is about whether the limit cycle of a quasi-homogeneous system $ \dot{x}=y,\; \dot{y}=-x^3+\alpha x^2y+y^3 $…
We study a system of ordinary differential equations in R5 that is used as a model both in population dynamics and in game theory, and is known to exhibit a heteroclinic network consisting in the union of four types of elementary…
We describe an example of a structurally stable heteroclinic network for which nearby orbits exhibit irregular but sustained switching between the various sub-cycles in the network. The mechanism for switching is the presence of spiralling…
Heterodimensional cycles are heteroclinic cycles that connect periodic orbits whose unstable manifolds have different dimensions. This is a source of nonhyperbolic dynamics and unstable dimension variability. For smooth invertible maps…
We consider a homoclinic orbit to a saddle fixed point of an arbitrary $C^\infty$ map $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and study the phenomenon that $f$ has an infinite family of asymptotically stable, single-round periodic solutions. From classical…
A standard result by Smale states that n dimensional strongly cooperative dynamical systems can have arbitrary dynamics when restricted to unordered invariant hyperspaces. In this paper this result is extended to the case when all solutions…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a class of Hamiltonian autonomous systems in dimension 4 which are completely integrable and their dynamics is described in all details. They have an equilibrium point which is stable for some rare…
Homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits provide a skeleton of the full dynamics of a chaotic dynamical system and are the foundation of semiclassical sums for quantum wave packet, coherent state, and transport quantities. Here, the homoclinic…
We provide conditions guaranteeing that certain classes of robust heteroclinic networks are asymptotically stable. We study the asymptotic stability of ac-networks --- robust heteroclinic networks that exist in smooth ${\mathbb…
