Relative equilibria of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems with symmetry are critical points of appropriate scalar functions parametrized by the Lie algebra (or its dual) of the symmetry group. Setting aside the structures - symplectic,…

We obtain local and global bifurcation for periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems by using a new way to apply a comparison principle of the spectral flow that was originally introduced by Pejsachowicz in a joint work with the third…
Inspecting a $p$-dimensional parameter space by means of $(p-1)$-dimensional slices, changes can be detected that are only determined by the geometry of the manifolds that compose the bifurcation set. We refer to these changes as geometric…
We consider dynamical systems depending on one or more real parameters, and assuming that, for some ``critical'' value of the parameters, the eigenvalues of the linear part are resonant, we discuss the existence -- under suitable hypotheses…
Bifurcation with symmetry is considered in the case of an isotropy subgroup with a two-dimensional fixed point subspace and non-zero quadratic terms. In general, there are one or three branches of solutions, and five qualitatively different…
This paper is Part I of a two-part series. We investigate bifurcation phenomena in Lagrangian systems with various boundary conditions and constraints, focusing on the interplay between Morse theory and the existence of multiple solutions…
At a border-collision bifurcation a fixed point of a piecewise-smooth map intersects a surface where the functional form of the map changes. Near a generic border-collision bifurcation there are two fixed points, each of which exists on one…
We study bifurcation for the constant scalar curvature equation along a one-parameter family of Riemannian metrics on the total space of a harmonic Riemannian submersion. We provide an existence theorem for bifurcation points and a…
We analyze, mainly using bifurcation methods, an elliptic superlinear problem in one-dimension with periodic boundary conditions. One of the main novelties is that we follow for the first time a bifurcation approach, relying on a…
The aim of this paper is to study global bifurcations of non-constant solutions of some nonlinear elliptic systems, namely the system on a sphere and the Neumann problem on a ball. We study the bifurcation phenomenon from families of…
The effect of multiplicative stochastic perturbations on Hamiltonian systems on the plane is investigated. It is assumed that perturbations fade with time and preserve a stable equilibrium of the limiting system. The paper investigates…
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…
A celebrated result in bifurcation theory is that global connected sets of non-trivial solutions bifurcate from trivial solutions at non-zero eigenvalues of odd algebraic multiplicity of the linearized problem when the operators involved…
We study a superlinear elliptic boundary value problem involving the $p$-laplacian operator, with changing sign weights. The problem has positive solutions bifurcating from the trivial solution set at the two principal eigenvalues of the…
We consider elliptic systems with superlinear and subcritical boundary conditions and a bifurcation parameter as a multiplicative factor. By combining the rescaling method with degree theory and elliptic regularity theory, we prove the…
Symplectic integrators can be excellent for Hamiltonian initial value problems. Reasons for this include their preservation of invariant sets like tori, good energy behaviour, nonexistence of attractors, and good behaviour of statistical…
We consider the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem on product domains. The main result is the asymptotic expansion of the solution in terms of increasing smoothness up to the boundary. In particular, we show the exact nature of the…
In diverse physical systems stable oscillatory solutions devolve into more complicated dynamical behaviour through border-collision bifurcations. Mathematically these occur when a stable fixed point of a piecewise-smooth map collides with a…
