We study a non-linear dynamical system on networks inspired by the pitchfork bifurcation normal form. The system has several interesting interpretations: as an interconnection of several pitchfork systems, a gradient dynamical system and…
Bouncing droplets on a vibrating fluid bath can exhibit wave-particle behavior, such as being propelled by interacting with its own wave field. These droplets seem to walk across the bath, and thus are dubbed walkers. Experiments have shown…
We study the singularity of the order parameter at the transition between a critical phase and an ordered phase of bond percolation on pointed hierarchical graphs. In pointed hierarchical graphs, the renormalization group (RG) equation…
Microswimmers typically operate in complex environments. In biological systems, often diverse species are simultaneously present and interact with each other. Here, we derive a (time-dependent) particle-scale statistical description, namely…
Spin masers are a prototype nonlinear dynamic system. They undergo a bifurcation at a critical amplification factor, transiting into a limit cycle phase characterized by a Larmor precession around the external bias magnetic field, thereby…
We derive and justify a normal form reduction of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation for a general pitchfork bifurcation of the symmetric bound state that occurs in a double-well symmetric potential. We prove persistence of normal form…
The necessity and benefit of singular solutions in the study of physical systems is shown. By singular solutions we mean solutions that are not contained in the general solution of the system of equations that describes the dynamic system…
Real-world systems often evolve on different timescales and possess multiple coexisting stable states. Whether or not a system returns to a given stable state after being perturbed away from it depends on the shape and extent of its basin…
In a Nature article, Scheffer et al. presented a novel data-driven framework to predict critical transitions in complex systems. These transitions, which may stem from failures, degradation, or adversarial actions, have been attributed to…
Usually, in order to investigate the evolution of a theory, one may find the critical points of the system and then perform perturbations around these critical points to see whether they are stable or not. This local method is very useful…
In this paper we introduce a new bifurcation in Hamiltonian systems, which we call the double flip bifurcation. The Hamiltonian depends on two parameters, one of which controls the double flip bifurcation. The result of the bifurcation is…
We study how the singular behaviour of classical systems at bifurcations is reflected by their quantum counterpart. The semiclassical contributions of individual periodic orbits to trace formulae of Gutzwiller type are known to diverge when…
In this paper, we investigate semilinear elliptic equations with general exponential-type nonlinearities in two dimensions. For such nonlinearities, we establish two main results. The first is the construction of a singular solution.…
We numerically study solitary waves in the coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. We detect pitchfork bifurcations of the fundamental solitary wave and compute eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the corresponding eigenvalue problems to…
This paper presents a stability analysis of simple neuromodules displaying fold bifurcations (leading to hysteresis), flip bifurcations (period doubling and undoubling to and from chaos) and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations (quasiperiodic and…
Linear complementarity problems provide a powerful framework to model nonsmooth phenomena in a variety of real-world applications. In dynamical control systems, they appear coupled to a linear input-output system in the form of linear…
Bifurcations of one dimensional dynamical systems are discussed based on some ultradiscrete equations. The ultradiscrete equations are derived from normal forms of one-dimensional nonlinear differential equations, each of which has…
We investigate dynamics and bifurcations in a mathematical model that captures electrochemical experiments on arrays of microelectrodes. In isolation, each individual microelectrode is described by a one-dimensional unit with a bistable…
We study the spontaneous configuration transitions of an active semi-flexible polymer between {\it spiral} and {\it non-spiral} states, and show that the configuration dynamics is fully described by a {\it subcritical pitchfork}…
The theory of backward bifurcations provides a criterion for the existence of positive steady states in epidemiological models with parameters where the basic reproductive ratio is less than one. It is often seen in simulations that this…
