We consider the 3-D system defined by the jerk equation $\dddot{x} = -a \ddot{x} + x \dot{x}^2 -x^3 -b x + c \dot{x}$, with $a, b, c\in \mathbb{R}$. When $a=b=0$ and $c < 0$ the equilibrium point localized at the origin is a zero-Hopf…
We discuss three examples of bimolecular mass-action systems with three species, due to Feinberg, Berner, Heinrich, and Wilhelm. Each system has a unique positive equilibrium which is unstable for certain rate constants and then exhibits…
For the reaction networks with zero-one stoichiometric coefficients (or simply zero-one networks), we prove that if a network admits a Hopf bifurcation, then the rank of the stoichiometric matrix is at least four. As a corollary, we show…
We study the center-of-mass motion in systems of trapped interacting particles with space- and velocity-dependent friction and anharmonic traps. Our approach, based on a dynamical ansatz assuming a fixed density profile, allows us to obtain…
We briefly review some common diffusion-limited reactions with emphasis on results for two-species reactions with anisotropic hopping. Our review also covers single-species reactions. The scope is that of providing reference and general…
Diffusion within porous media, such as biological tissues, exhibits departures from conventional Fick's laws, which could result in space-fractional diffusion. The paper considers a reaction-diffusion system with two spatial compartments --…
For the reduced two-dimensional Belousov-Zhabotinsky slow-fast differential system, the known results are the existence of one limit cycle and its stability for particular values of the parameters. Here, we characterize all dynamics of this…
An equilibrium of a planar, piecewise-$C^1$, continuous system of differential equations that crosses a curve of discontinuity of the Jacobian of its vector field can undergo a number of discontinuous or border-crossing bifurcations. Here…
We show that the late-time dynamics of a minimal three-component mass-conserving reaction--diffusion system reduce to a scalar active field theory, Active Model B$^-$ (AMB$^-$), in which a density-dependent interfacial coefficient…
For piecewise-smooth ordinary differential equations, the occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation on a switching surface is known as a boundary Hopf bifurcation. Boundary Hopf bifurcations are codimension-two, so occur at points in two-parameter…
The well-studied Hindmarsh-Rose model of neural action potential is revisited from the point of view of global bifurcation analysis. This slow-fast system of three paremeterised differential equations is arguably the simplest reduction of…
We analyze a system of coupled Bose-Einstein condensates in the domain of a unitary ball in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The coupling is due to atom-to-atom interactions that occur between different gas components. The multi-component Bose-Einstein…
Reaction-diffusion systems with mass dissipation are known to possess blow-up solutions in high dimensions when the nonlinearities have super quadratic growth rates. In dimension one, it has been shown recently that one can have global…
Biochemical models that exhibit bistability are of interest to biologists and mathematicians alike. Chemical reaction network theory can provide sufficient conditions for the existence of bistability, and on the other hand can rule out the…
Multistability of mesoscopic, driven biochemical reaction systems has implications to a wide range of cellular processes. Using several simple models, we show that one class of bistable chemical systems has a deterministic counterpart in…
This manuscript extends the analysis of a much studied singularly perturbed three-component reaction-diffusion system for front dynamics in the regime where the essential spectrum is close to the origin. We confirm a conjecture from a…
One-dimensional reaction-diffusion models A+A -> 0, A+A -> A, and $A+B -> 0, where in the latter case like particles coagulate on encounters and move as clusters, are solved exactly with anisotropic hopping rates and assuming synchronous…
The transition states and dividing surfaces used to find rate constants for bimolecular reactions are shown to undergo qualitative changes, known as Morse bifurcations, and to exist for a large range of energies, not just immediately above…
The present paper points out to a novel scenario for formation of chaotic attractors in a class of models of excitable cell membranes near an Andronov-Hopf bifurcation (AHB). The mechanism underlying chaotic dynamics admits a simple and…
Mixtures of several macromolecular species can lead to the formation of higher-order structures that often display non-ideal mixing behavior. In this work, we propose a minimal model of a quaternary system which considers the formation of a…
