We consider structure of typical gradient flows bifurcations on closed surfaces with minimal number of singular points. There are two type of such bifurcations: saddle-node (SN) and saddle connections (SC). The structure of a bifurcation is…
We focus on the existence and persistence of families of saddle periodic orbits in a four-dimensional Hamiltonian reversible ordinary differential equation derived using a travelling wave ansatz from a generalised nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger…
In this paper, we study a two-parameter family of two-dimensional diffeomorphisms such that it has a cubic homoclinic tangency unfolding generically which is associated with a dissipative saddle point. Our first theorem presents an open set…
We consider a one-parameter family $(f_\lambda)_{\lambda \, \geqslant \, 0}$ of symmetric vector fields on the three-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^3\subset\mathbb{R}^4$ whose flows exhibit a heteroclinic network between two saddle-foci…
In this article we construct the parameter region where the existence of a homoclinic orbit to a zero equilibrium state of saddle type in the Lorenz-like system will be analytically proved in the case of a nonnegative saddle value. Then,…
The space of degree d single-variable monic and centered complex polynomial vector fields can be decomposed into loci in which the vector fields have the same topological structure. We analyze the geometric structure of these loci and…
Following Part~I, we consider a class of reversible systems and study bifurcations of homoclinic orbits to hyperbolic saddle equilibria. Here we concentrate on the case in which homoclinic orbits are symmetric, so that only one control…
This article studies routes to chaos occurring within a resonance wedge for a 3-parametric family of differential equations acting on a 3-sphere. Our starting point is an autonomous vector field whose flow exhibits a weakly attracting…
Global resonance is a mechanism by which a homoclinic tangency of a smooth map can have infinitely many asymptotically stable, single-round periodic solutions. To understand the bifurcation structure one would expect to see near such a…
The scaling of the time delay near a "bottleneck" of a generic saddle-node bifurcation is well-known to be given by an inverse square-root law. We extend the analysis to several non-generic cases for smooth vector fields. We proceed to…
We analyze three-dimensional $C^{r}$ diffeomorphisms ($r\ge 5$) exhibiting a quadratic focus-saddle homoclinic tangency whose multipliers satisfy $|\lambda\gamma| = 1$. For a proper three-parameter unfolding that splits the tangency, varies…
In this paper we study the anti-integrable limit scenario of skew-product systems. We consider a generalization of such systems based on the Frenkel-Kontorova model, and prove the existence of orbits with any fibered rotation number in…
We discuss the splitting of a separatrix in a generic unfolding of a degenerate equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom. We assume that the unperturbed fixed point has two purely imaginary eigenvalues and a double…
We study the number of limit cycles and the bifurcation diagram in the Poincar\'{e} sphere of a one-parameter family of planar differential equations of degree five $\dot {\bf x}=X_b({\bf x})$ which has been already considered in previous…
Gradient vector fields are fundamental objects from both theoretical and practical perspectives, since various phenomena can be modeled within this framework. The ``moduli space'' of such vector fields provides the foundation for describing…
The purpose of this paper is to advance the knowledge of the dynamics arising from the creation and subsequent bifurcation of Poincar\'e heteroclinic cycles. The problem is central to dynamics: it has to be addressed if, for instance, one…
We describe some families of differentiable vector fields with the Hopf bifurcation at infinity, without assuming the continuous differentiability. These vector fields have isolated singular points on the plane, and the initial families are…
In this work we analyze the bifurcation of dividing surfaces that occurs as a result of a pitchfork bifurcation of periodic orbits in a two degrees of freedom Hamiltonian System. The potential energy surface of the system that we consider…
We introduce the concept of 2-cyclicity for families of one-dimensional maps with a non-hyperbolic fixed point by analogy to the cyclicity for families of planar vector fields with a weak focus. This new concept is useful in order to study…
The properties of motion close to the transition of a stable family of periodic orbits to complex instability is investigated with two symplectic 4D mappings, natural extensions of the standard mapping. As for the other types of…
