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…
The differential equations involving two discrete delays are helpful in modeling two different processes in one model. We provide the stability and bifurcation analysis in the fractional order delay differential equation $D^\alpha x(t)=a…
Hidden attractors are present in many nonlinear dynamical systems and are not associated with equilibria, making them difficult to locate. Recent studies have demonstrated methods of locating hidden attractors, but the route to these…
We study main bifurcations of multidimensional diffeomorphisms having a non-transversal homoclinic orbit to a saddle-node fixed point. On a parameter plane we build a bifurcation diagram for single-round periodic orbits lying entirely in a…
In this paper, we report the bifurcations of mode-locked periodic orbits occurring in maps of three or higher dimensions. The `torus' is represented by a closed loop in discrete time, which contains stable and unstable cycles of the same…
We study a discrete non-autonomous system whose autonomous counterpart (with the frozen bifurcation parameter) admits a saddle-node bifurcation, and in which the bifurcation parameter slowly changes in time and is characterized by a sweep…
We investigate the scalar autonomous equation with two discrete delays $$ \dot{x}(t)=f(x(t),x(t-r),x(t-\sigma)), $$ where $f:\mathbb{R}^3\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a continuously differentiable non-linear function such that $f(0,0,0)=0$. It…
We consider delay differential equations of the form $ y'(t)=-ay(t)+bf(y(t-1)) $ with positive parameters $a,b$ and a unimodal $f:[0,\infty)\to [0,1]$. It is assumed that the nonlinear $f$ is close to a function $g:[0,\infty)\to [0,1]$ with…
We consider functional differential equations(FDEs) which are perturbations of smooth ordinary differential equations(ODEs). The FDE can involve multiple state-dependent delays or distributed delays (forward or backward). We show that,…
We study the periodic solutions of the delay equation $\dot{x}(t)=f(x(t),x(t-1))$, where $f$ scalar is strictly monotone in the delayed component and has even-odd symmetry. We completely describe the global bifurcation structure of periodic…
The time-periodic scalar delay differential equation $\dot x(t)=\gamma f(t,x(t-1))$ is considered, which leads to a resonant bifurcation of the equilibrium at critical values of the parameter. Using Floquet theory, spectral projection and…

Steady states of the Swift--Hohenberg equation are studied. For the associated four--dimensional ODE we prove that on the energy level $E=0$ two smooth branches of even periodic solutions are created through the saddle-node bifurcation. We…
We study the dynamics of a piecewise-linear second-order delay differential equation that is representative of feedback systems with relays (switches) that actuate after a fixed delay. The system under study exhibits strong…
This paper considers a class of delay differential equations with unimodal feedback and describes the structure of certain unstable sets of stationary points and periodic orbits. These unstable sets consist of heteroclinic connections from…
We study bifurcations of homoclinic orbits to hyperbolic saddle equilibria in a class of four-dimensional systems which may be Hamiltonian or not. Only one parameter is enough to treat these types of bifurcations in Hamiltonian systems but…
We describe a new mechanism that triggers periodic orbits in smooth dynamical systems. To this end, we introduce the concept of hybrid bifurcations: Such bifurcations occur when a line of equilibria with an exchange point of normal…
Bifurcations associated with stability of the saddle fixed point of the Poincar\'{e} map, arising from the unstable equilibrium point of the potential, are investigated in a forced Duffing oscillator with a double-well potential. One…
We analyze situations where a saddle-node bifurcation occurs on a fractal basin boundary. Specifically, we are interested in what happens when a system parameter is slowly swept in time through the bifurcation. Such situations are known to…
