It is already well-understood that many delay differential equations with only a single constant delay exhibit a change in stability according to the value of the delay in relation to a critical delay value. Finding a formula for the…
This paper deals with the asymptotic study of the so-called canard solutions, which arise in the study of real singularly perturbed ODEs. Starting near an attracting branch of the "slow curve", those solutions are crossing a turning point…
The limiting slow dynamics of slow-fast, piecewise-linear, continuous systems of ODEs occurs on critical manifolds that are piecewise-linear. At points of non-differentiability, such manifolds are not normally hyperbolic and so the…
This manuscript extends the analysis of a much studied singularly perturbed three-component reaction-diffusion system for front dynamics in the regime where the essential spectrum is close to the origin. We confirm a conjecture from a…
In this paper we study unfoldings of saddle-nodes and their Dulac time. By unfolding a saddle-node, saddles and nodes appear. In the first result (Theorem A) we prove uniform regularity by which orbits and their derivatives arrive at a…
The deflagration-to-detonation transition on the tip of an elongated flame in a tube is shown to be related to a dynamical saddle-node bifurcation of the inner flame structure leading to a runaway of the pressure in finite time. The…
In this paper, we study the dynamics and stability of a fundamental power system model when a time delay is imposed on the excitation of the generator. It is observed that sustained oscillations can arise in an otherwise stable power system…
This paper studies a slow-fast system whose principal characteristic is that the slow manifold is given by the critical set of the cusp catastrophe. Our analysis consists of two main parts: first, we recall a formal normal form suitable for…
We study the effect of a time-delayed feedback within a generic model for a saddle-node bifurcation on a limit cycle. Without delay the only attractor below this global bifurcation is a stable node. Delay renders the phase space…
We study the exchange of stability in scalar reaction-diffusion equations which feature a slow passage through transcritical and pitchfork type singularities in the reaction term, using a novel adaptation of the geometric blow-up method.…
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…
The presence of slow-fast Hopf (or singular Hopf) points in slow-fast systems in the plane is often deduced from the shape of a vector field brought into normal form. It can however be quite cumbersome to put a system in normal form. In the…
Critical transitions in multistable systems have been discussed as models for a variety of phenomena ranging from the extinctions of species to socio-economic changes and climate transitions between ice-ages and warm-ages. From bifurcation…
The problem of two van der Pol oscillators coupled by velocity delay terms was studied by Wirkus and Rand in 2002. The small-epsilon analysis resulted in a slow flow which contained delay terms. To simplify the analysis, Wirkus and Rand…
We construct the 'threshold manifold' near the soliton for the mass critical gKdV equation, completing results obtained in arXiv:1204.4625 and arXiv:1204.4624. In a neighborhood of the soliton, this C1 manifold of codimension one separates…
In this article, the phenomenon of delayed Hopf bifurcations (DHB) in reaction-diffusion PDEs is analyzed in the cubic Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with a slowly-varying parameter. We use the classical asymptotic methods of stationary…
Bifurcation of the local Gierer-Meinhardt model is analyzed in this paper. It is found that the degenerate Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation of codimension 3 happens in the model, except that teh saddle-node bifurcation and the Hopf bifurcation.…
We analyze rate-dependent tipping in a fast/slow system with an equilibrium near the fold of a critical manifiold. We find a Hopf bifurcation as the rate parameter increases in the reduced co-moving system. This implies the growth of a…
In this paper, we study the existence of bifurcation of a van der Pol-Duffing oscillator with quintic terms and its quasi-periodic solutions by means of qualitative and bifurcation theories. Firstly, we analyze the autonomous system and…
This paper deals with the finite-time blow-up phenomena of classical solutions for Vlasov/Navier-Stokes equations under suitable assumptions on the initial configurations. We show that a solution to the coupled kinetic-fluid system may be…
