In aggregation-fragmentation processes, a steady state is usually reached in the long time limit. This indicates the existence of a fixed point in the underlying system of ordinary differential equations. The next simplest possibility is an…
For many physical systems the transition from a stationary solution to sustained small amplitude oscillations corresponds to a Hopf bifurcation. For systems involving impacts, thresholds, switches, or other abrupt events, however, this…
This article is meant as a mathematical appendix or comment on [BT]. We first consider the notion of transcritical bifurcations of fixed points of general area-preserving maps, and then adress some questions related to [BT] on bifurcation…
In this paper we study the following eigenvalue boundary value problem for Monge-Amp\`{e}re equations: {equation} \{{array}{l} \det(D^2u)=\lambda^N f(-u)\,\, \text{in}\,\, \Omega, u=0,\,\text{on}\,\, \partial \Omega. {array}. {equation} We…
Hysteresis phenomena and multistability play crucial roles in the dynamics of coupled oscillators, which are now interpreted from the point of view of codimension-two bifurcations. On the Ott-Antonsen's manifold, complete bifurcation sets…
Let us give a two dimensional family of real vector fields. We suppose that there exists a stationary point where the linearized vector field has successively a stable focus, an unstable focus and an unstable node. When the parameter moves…
This paper investigates the different behaviors of the process equation and parameters of their occurrences. The process equation is a multistable one dimensional map with nonlinear feedback and can show various behaviors such as period…
The climate is a complex non-equilibrium dynamical system that relaxes toward a steady state under the continuous input of solar radiation and dissipative mechanisms. The steady state is not necessarily unique. A useful tool to describe the…
Thirty years after the Liu-Fisher paper on the {\bf bicritical} and {\bf tetracritical} points in quantum lattice gases, these multicritical points continue to appear in a variety of new physical contexts. This paper reviews some recent…
A special asymptotic solution of the Painlev\'e-2 equation with small parameter is studied. This solution has a critical point $t_*$ corresponding to a bifurcation phenomenon. When $t<t_*$ the constructed solution varies slowly and when…
A thin and narrow rectangular plate having the two short edges hinged and the two long edges free is considered. A nonlinear nonlocal evolution equation describing the deformation of the plate is introduced: well-posedness and existence of…
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…
We establish common fixed point theorems for two pairs of weakly compatible self-mappings using an auxiliary function of two variables. Unlike classical results, our theorems do not assume continuity of the mappings and require completeness…
We present a graphical analysis of the mechanisms underlying the occurrences of bubbling sequences and bistability regions in the bifurcation scenario of a special class of one dimensional two parameter maps. The main result of the analysis…
The classical pitchfork of singularity theory is a twice-degenerate bifurcation that typically occurs in dynamical system models exhibiting Z_2 symmetry. Non-classical pitchfork singularities also occur in many non-symmetric systems, where…
This study investigates the melting process of a three-phase Stefan problem in a semi-infinite material, imposing a convective boundary condition at the fixed face. By employing a similarity-type transformation, the problem is reduced to a…
For a continuous map on the unit interval or circle, we define the bifurcation set to be the collection of those interval holes whose surviving set is sensitive to arbitrarily small changes of their position. By assuming a global…
This paper investigates the existence of periodic solutions in blood flow propagating through vessels with free boundary conditions via the bifurcation theory. It is rigorously proved that a local $C^1$-curve of small-amplitude periodic…
For a disk $D$ in the plane $\mathbb R^2$ and a plane map $f$, we give several conditions on the restriction of $f$ to the boundary $\partial D$ of $D$ which imply the existence of a fixed point of $f$ in some specified domain in $D$. These…
We study transitions from convective to absolute instability near a trivial state in large bounded domains for prototypical model problems in the presence of transport and negative nonlinear feedback. We identify two generic scenarios,…
