In solving real-world problems, determining the codimension of Bogdanov-Takens (BT) and Bautin (generalized Hopf) bifurcations can be very challenging, even for simple two-dimensional dynamical systems. This difficulty becomes particularly…

For piecewise-smooth ordinary differential equations, the occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation on a switching surface is known as a boundary Hopf bifurcation. Boundary Hopf bifurcations are codimension-two, so occur at points in two-parameter…
We classify the local bifurcations of one dov quantum billiards, showing that only saddle-center bifurcations can occur. We analyze the resulting planar system when there is no coupling in the superposition state. In so doing, we also…

We study the pattern of activated trajectories in a double well system without detailed balance, in the weak noise limit. The pattern may contain cusps and other singular features, which are similar to the caustics of geometrical optics.…
Local bifurcation theory typically deals with the response of a degenerate but isolated equilibrium state or periodic orbit of a dynamical system to perturbations controlled by one or more independent parameters, and characteristically uses…
Singular Hopf bifurcation occurs in generic families of vector-fields with two slow variables and one fast variable. Normal forms for this bifurcation depend upon several parameters, and the dynamics displayed by the normal forms is…
