We study bifurcations of a three-dimensional diffeomorphism, $g_0$, that has a quadratic homoclinic tangency to a saddle-focus fixed point with multipliers $(\lambda e^{i\vphi}, \lambda e^{-i\vphi}, \gamma)$, where $0<\lambda<1<|\gamma|$…

We present a general approach to prove the existence, both locally and globally in amplitude, of fully localised multi-dimensional patterns in partial differential equations containing a compact spatial heterogeneity. While one-dimensional…

We present a general review of the bifurcation sequences of periodic orbits in general position of a family of resonant Hamiltonian normal forms with nearly equal unperturbed frequencies, invariant under $Z_2 \times Z_2$ symmetry. The rich…

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…

We study semiclassical resonances generated by homoclinic trapped sets. First, under some general assumptions, we prove that there is no resonance in a region below the real axis. Then, we obtain a quantization rule and the asymptotic…

In piecewise-smooth differential systems, a hyperbolic limit cycle of a subsystem loses its structural stability if it grazes the switching manifold at a tangent point. Such a cycle is called a grazing loop and in this paper we investigate…

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…

Spectral degeneracies of quantum magnets are often described as diabolical points or magnetic Weyl points, which carry topological charge. Here, we study a simple, yet experimentally relevant quantum magnet: two localized interacting…

Resonance tongues are mode-locking regions of parameter space in which stable periodic solutions occur; they commonly occur, for example, near Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. For piecewise-smooth, continuous maps these tongues typically have a…

A family of periodic perturbations of an attracting robust heteroclinic cycle defined on the two-sphere is studied by reducing the analysis to that of a one-parameter family of maps on a circle. The set of zeros of the family forms a…

In a smooth dynamical system, a homoclinic connection is a closed orbit returning to a saddle equilibrium. Under perturbation, homoclinics are associated with bifurcations of periodic orbits, and with chaos in higher dimensions. Homoclinic…

In this paper, we show that the H\'enon map $\varphi_{a,b}$ has a generically unfolding cubic tangency for some $(a,b)$ arbitrarily close to $(-2,0)$ by applying results of Gonchenko-Shilnikov-Turaev [12]-[16]. Combining this fact with…
