The main purpose of this paper is to study limit cycles in non-linear regularizations of planar piecewise smooth systems with fold points (or more degenerate tangency points) and crossing regions. We deal with a slow fast Hopf point after…
Canard cycles are periodic orbits that appear as special solutions of fast-slow systems (or singularly perturbed Ordinary Differential Equations). It is well known that canard cycles are difficult to detect, hard to reproduce numerically,…
For the reduced two-dimensional Belousov-Zhabotinsky slow-fast differential system, the known results are the existence of one limit cycle and its stability for particular values of the parameters. Here, we characterize all dynamics of this…
We present a phenomenological description of the critical slowing down associated with period-doubling bifurcations in discrete dynamical systems. Starting from a local Taylor expansion around the fixed point and the bifurcation parameter,…
Over the last few decades, complex oscillations of slow-fast systems have been a key area of research. In the theory of slow-fast systems, the location of singular Hopf bifurcation and maximal canard is determined by computing the first…
In the context of a spatially extended model for the electrical activity in a pituitary lactotroph cell line, we establish that two delayed bifurcation phenomena from ODEs ---folded node canards and slow passage through Hopf bifurcations---…
It is shown that applying manifold learning techniques to Poincar\'e sections of high-dimensional, chaotic dynamical systems can uncover their low-dimensional topological organization. Manifold learning provides a low-dimensional embedding…
Slow-fast dynamical systems have two time scales and an explicit parameter representing the ratio of these time scales. Locally invariant slow manifolds along which motion occurs on the slow time scale are a prominent feature of slow-fast…
Torus canards are solutions of slow/fast systems that alternate between attracting and repelling manifolds of limit cycles of the fast subsystem. A relatively new dynamic phenomenon, torus canards have been found in neural applications to…
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…
Algorithms proposed for solving high-dimensional optimization problems with no derivative information frequently encounter the "curse of dimensionality," becoming ineffective as the dimension of the parameter space grows. One feature of a…
Stickiness is a well known phenomenon in which chaotic orbits expend an expressive amount of time in specific regions of the chaotic sea. This phenomenon becomes important when dealing with area-preserving open systems because, in this…
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…
Geometrical Singular Perturbation Theory has been successful to investigate a broad range of biological problems with different time scales. The aim of this paper is to apply this theory to a predator-prey model of modified Leslie-Gower…
In this article, we study a system of reaction-diffusion equations in which the diffusivities are widely separated. We report on the discovery of families of spatially periodic canard solutions that emerge from {\em singular Turing…
Many shear flows follow a route to turbulence that has striking similarities to bifurcation scenarios in low-dimensional dynamical systems. Among the bifurcations that appear, crisis bifurcations are important because they cause global…
We use blowup to study the regularization of codimension one two-fold singularities in planar piecewise smooth (PWS) dynamical systems. We focus on singular canards, pseudo-equlibria and limit cycles that can occur in the PWS system. Using…
Inspired by an example of Grebogi et al [1], we study a class of model systems which exhibit the full two-step scenario for the nonautonomous Hopf bifurcation, as proposed by Arnold [2]. The specific structure of these models allows a…
We revisit elliptic bursting dynamics from the viewpoint of torus canard solutions. We show that at the transition to and from elliptic burstings, classical or mixed-type torus canards can appear, the difference between the two being the…
Rapid action potential generation --- spiking --- and alternating intervals of spiking and quiescence --- bursting --- are two dynamic patterns observed in neuronal activity. In computational models of neuronal systems, the transition from…
