Flows of particles through bottlenecks are ubiquitous in nature and industry, involving both dry granular materials and suspensions. However, practical limitations of conventional experimental setups hinder the full understanding of these…
We study canard solutions of the forced van der Pol (fvdP) equation in the relaxation limit for low-, intermediate-, and high-frequency periodic forcing. A central numerical observation is that there are two branches of canards in parameter…
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…
Canard cascading (CC) is observed in dynamical networks with global adaptive coupling. It is a fast-slow phenomenon characterized by a recurrent sequence of fast transitions between distinct and slowly evolving quasi-stationary states. In…
For an elastic system that is non-conservative but autonomous, subjected for example to time-independent loading by a steadily flowing fluid (air or water), a dangerous bifurcation, such as a sub-critical bifurcation, or a cyclic fold, will…
The study of dynamics in closed quantum systems has recently been revitalized by the emergence of experimental systems that are well-isolated from their environment. In this paper, we consider the closed-system dynamics of an archetypal…

Canards are special solutions to ordinary differential equations that follow invariant repelling slow manifolds for long time intervals. In realistic biophysical single cell models, canards are responsible for several complex neural rhythms…
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…

Fast-slow dynamical systems have subsystems that evolve on vastly different timescales, and bifurcations in such systems can arise due to changes in any or all subsystems. We classify bifurcations of the critical set (the equilibria of the…
The purpose of this paper is to study the number of limit cycles of canard type in linear regularizations of piecewise linear systems with non-monotonic transition functions. Using the notion of slow divergence integral and elementary…
