Local bifurcations of stationary points and limit cycles have successfully been characterized in terms of the critical exponents of these solutions. Lyapunov exponents and their associated covariant Lyapunov vectors have been proposed as…
In this paper we consider two-dimensional dissipative maps of the annulus which are small perturbations of one-dimensional critical circle maps. It has been shown earlier that such perturbations admit an attractor which is a non-smooth…
The destruction of a chaotic attractor leading to rough changes in the dynamics of a dynamical system is studied. Local bifurcations are characterised by a single or a pair of characteristic exponents crossing the imaginary axis. The…
We study the dynamics of the five-parameter quadratic family of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of R^3. This family is the unfolded normal form for a bifurcation of a fixed point with a triple-one multiplier and also is the general form…
We study a simple dynamical model exhibiting sequential dynamics. We show that in this model there exist sets of parameter values for which a cyclic chain of saddle equilibria, $O_k$, $k=1, \ldots, p$, have two dimensional unstable…
We consider here a recently proposed geometrical criterion for local instability based on the geodesic deviation equation. Although such a criterion can be useful in some cases, we show here that, in general, it is neither necessary nor…
We introduce a class of convex, higher-dimensional billiard models which generalise stadium billiards. These models correspond to the free motion of a point-particle in a region bounded by cylinders cut by planes. They are motivated by…
Moser derived a normal form for the family of four-dimensional, quadratic, symplectic maps in 1994. This six-parameter family generalizes H\'enon's ubiquitous 2D map and provides a local approximation for the dynamics of more general 4D…
We study stability and bifurcations in holomorphic families of polynomial automorphisms of C^2. We say that such a family is weakly stable over some parameter domain if periodic orbits do not bifurcate there. We first show that this defines…
In recent years the theory of border collision bifurcations has been developed for piecewise smooth maps that are continuous across the border, and has been successfully applied to explain nonsmooth bifurcation phenomena in physical…
In this paper we study a two-parameter family of planar maps characterized by two distinct invariant subspaces. The model reveals the existence of two chaotic attractors within these subspaces. We identify parameter values at which these…
We study the problem of persistence of attractors with smooth boundary for a class of set-valued dynamical systems that naturally arise in the context of random and control dynamical systems, as well as in systems modeling the dynamical…
We introduce a one-parameter family of polymatrix replicators defined in a three-dimensional cube and study its bifurcations. For a given interval of parameters, this family exhibits suspended horseshoes and persistent strange attractors.…
We investigate a model of high-dimensional dynamical variables with all-to-all interactions that are random and non-reciprocal. We characterize its phase diagram and show that the model can exhibit chaotic dynamics. We show that the…
In this paper we report some important results that help in analizing the border collision bifurcations that occur in n-dimensional discontinuous maps. For this purpose, we use the piecewise linear approximation in the neighborhood of the…
Heterodimensional cycles are heteroclinic cycles that connect periodic orbits whose unstable manifolds have different dimensions. This is a source of nonhyperbolic dynamics and unstable dimension variability. For smooth invertible maps…
We consider generic families $X_\param$ of smooth dynamical systems depending on parameters $\param\in P$ where $P$ is a 2-dimensional simply connected domain and assume that each $X_\param$ only has a finite number of restpoints and…
A R\"ossler model perturbed with a piecewise constant function is investigated. The perturbation function used in the model is constructed by means of the logistic map. In the absence of the perturbation the system is assumed to possess two…
The attractors of a dynamical system govern its typical long-term behaviour. The presence of many attractors is significant as it means the behaviour is heavily dependent on the initial conditions. To understand how large numbers of…
We reinvestigate the dynamical behavior of a first order scalar nonlinear delay differential equation with piecewise linearity and identify several interesting features in the nature of bifurcations and chaos associated with it as a…
