We investigate the universality in collisionless nonlinear dynamics of a codimension-two bifurcation where two eigenvalues collide at the origin, and two lines of continuous bifurcation and discontinuous jump meet. Through linear analysis…
We study the scaling behavior of period doublings in two unidirectionally-coupled one-dimensional maps near a bicritical point where two critical lines of period-doubling transition to chaos in both subsystems meet. Note that the bicritical…
A method is suggested for the computation of the generalized dimensions of fractal attractors at the period-doubling transition to chaos. The approach is based on an eigenvalue problem formulated in terms of functional equations, with a…
The relationship between period doubling bifurcations and Feigenbaum's constants has been studied for nearly 40 years and this relationship has helped uncover many fundamental aspects of universal scaling across multiple nonlinear dynamical…
In this paper we provide a criterion for global secondary bifurcation via symmetry breaking. As an application, the occurrence of period-doubling bifurcations for the Lugiato-Lefever equation is proved.
Structure of bifurcation diagram in the plane of parameters controlling period-doublings for the system of coupled logistic maps is discussed. The analysis is carried out by computing the charts of dynamical regimes and charts of Lyapunov…
The bifurcation transition is studied for the onset of intermittency analogous to the Pomeau-Manneville mechanism of type-I, but generalized for the presence of a quasiperiodic external force. The analysis is concentrated on the…
Based on numerical results of a Silnikov equation, three period-doubling cascades, corresponding respectively to three different characters of the rotation number of a limit closed orbit, are studied, and the Feigenbaum constant is used…
Turbulence is one of the most frequently encountered non-equilibrium phenomena in nature yet characterising the transition that gives rise to it has remained an elusive task. Although in recent studies critical points marking the onset of…
We examine the onset of turbulence in Waleffe flow -- the planar shear flow between stress-free boundaries driven by a sinusoidal body force. By truncating the wall-normal representation to four modes, we are able to simulate system sizes…
The existence of period-doubling bifurcations is shown for the Konishi-Kaneko map. The value of the control parameter $k_{\infty}$ corresponding to the transition to the chaotic phase is estimated, along with the Feigenbaum universal…
The effects of global flow rotation and curvature on the subcritical transition to turbulence in shear flows are examined. The relevant time-scales of the problem are identified by a decomposition of the flow into a laminar and a deviation…
We present a phenomenological description of the critical slowing down associated with period-doubling bifurcations in discrete dynamical systems. Starting from a local Taylor expansion around the fixed point and the bifurcation parameter,…
The transition from quasiperiodicity to chaos is studied in a two-dimensional dissipative map with the inverse golden mean rotation number. On the basis of a decimation scheme, it is argued that the (minimal) slope of the critical iterated…
Universality aids consistent understanding of physical properties. This includes understanding the states of matter where a theory predicts how a property of a phase (solid, liquid, gas) changes with temperature or pressure. Here, we show…
