We analyze a one-dimensional two-scalar fields reaction advection diffusion model for the globally subcritical transition to turbulence. In this model, the homogeneous turbulent state is disconnected from the laminar one and disappears in a…

Chemical, physical and ecological systems passing through a saddle-node bifurcation will, momentarily, find themselves balanced at a semi-stable steady state. If perturbed by noise, such systems will escape from the zero-steady state, with…

Hidden attractors are present in many nonlinear dynamical systems and are not associated with equilibria, making them difficult to locate. Recent studies have demonstrated methods of locating hidden attractors, but the route to these…

Piecewise-linear maps describe dynamical phenomena that switch between distinct states and readily generate complex bifurcation structures due to their strong nonlinearity. We show that two-dimensional continuous piecewise-linear maps near…

We consider a slow-fast differential system (SF) in dimension two which appears in the study of some linear model (LM) with periodic coefficients in population dynamics. We show existence of "canard solutions" of (SF) along semi-stable slow…

Let a system of differential equations possess a saddle-node periodic orbit such that every orbit in its unstable manifold is homoclinic, i.e. the unstable manifold is a subset of the (global) stable manifold. We study several bifurcation…

We examine the emergence of chaos in a non-linear model derived from a semiquantum Hamiltonian describing the coupling between a classical field and a quantum system. The latter corresponds to a bosonic version of a BCS-like Hamiltonian,…

Coupled nonlinear oscillators can exhibit a wide variety of patterns. We study the Brusselator as a prototypical autocatalytic reaction diffusion model. Working in the limit of strong nonlinearity provides a clear timescale separation that…

We examine examples of weakly nonlinear systems whose steady states undergo a bifurcation with increasing forcing, such that a forced subsystem abruptly ceases to absorb additional energy, instead diverting it into an initially quiescent,…

Sudden and abrupt changes can occur in a nonlinear system within many fields of science when such a system crosses a tipping point and rapid changes of the system occur in response to slow changes in an external forcing. These can occur…

Density perturbations and their dynamic evolution from early to late times can be used for an improved understanding of interesting physical phenomena both in cosmology and in the context of heavy-ion collisions. We discuss the spectrum and…
