In this paper, we will perform the parameter-dependent center manifold reduction near the generic and transcritical codimension two Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation in classical delay differential equations (DDEs). Using a generalization of the…
We solve the local equivalence problem for second order (smooth or analytic) ordinary differential equations. We do so by presenting a {\em complete convergent normal form} for this class of ODEs. The normal form is optimal in the sense…
We prove an abstract Birkhoff normal form theorem for Hamiltonian Partial Differential Equations. The theorem applies to semilinear equations with nonlinearity satisfying a property that we call of Tame Modulus. Such a property is related…
Periodic normal forms for the codim 2 bifurcations of limit cycles up to a 3-dimensional center manifold in generic autonomous ODEs and computational formulas for their coefficients are derived. The formulas are independent of the dimension…
A common external forcing can cause a saddle-node bifurcation in an ensemble of identical Duffing oscillators by breaking the symmetry of the individual bistable (double-well) unit. The strength of the forcing determines the separation…
This article is an introduction to some aspects of \'Ecalle's mould calculus, a powerful combinatorial tool which yields surprisingly explicit formulas for the normalising series attached to an analytic germ of singular vector field or of…
We give unique analytic "normal forms" for germs of a holomorphic vector field of the complex plane in the neighborhood of an isolated singularity of saddle-node type having a convergent formal separatrix. We specifically address the…
The saddle-node bifurcation on an invariant circle (SNIC) is one of the codimension-one routes to creation or destruction of a periodic orbit in a continuous-time dynamical system. It governs the transition from resting behaviour to…

A saddle-node bifurcation cascade is studied in the logistic equation, whose bifurcation points follow an expression formally identical to the one given by Feigenbaum for period doubling cascade. The Feigenbaum equation is generalized…
We consider a generalized Burger's equation (dtu = dxxu - udxu + up - {\lambda}u)in a subdomain of R, under various boundary conditions. First, using some phase plane arguments, we study the existence of stationary solutions under Dirichlet…
Concave in measure and d-concave in measure nonautonomous scalar ordinary differential equations given by coercive and time-compactible maps have similar properties to equations satisfying considerably more restrictive hypotheses. This…
In this paper we study unfoldings of saddle-nodes and their Dulac time. By unfolding a saddle-node, saddles and nodes appear. In the first result (Theorem A) we prove uniform regularity by which orbits and their derivatives arrive at a…
We establish an equivalence between infinitely many asymptotically stable periodic solutions and subsumed homoclinic connections for $N$-dimensional piecewise-linear continuous maps. These features arise as a codimension-three phenomenon.…
Some new global results are given about solutions to the boundary value problem for the Euler-Lagrange equations for the Ginzburg-Landau model of a one-dimensional superconductor. The main advance is a proof that in some parameter range…
In this paper we analyze the classical solution set ({\lambda},u), for {\lambda}>0, of a one-dimensional prescribed mean curvature equation on the interval [-L,L]. It is shown that the solution set depends on the two parameters, {\lambda}…
In solving real world systems for higher-codimension bifurcation problems, one often faces the difficulty in computing the normal form or the focus values associated with generalized Hopf bifurcation, and the normal form with unfolding for…
We consider SDEs of the form $dX_t = |f(X_t)|/t^{\gamma} dt+1/t^{\gamma} dB_t$, where $f(x)$ behaves comparably to $|x|^k$ in a neighborhood of the origin, for $k\in [1,\infty)$. We show that there exists a threshold value…
