We describe an example of a structurally stable heteroclinic network for which nearby orbits exhibit irregular but sustained switching between the various sub-cycles in the network. The mechanism for switching is the presence of spiralling…
This paper analyses the stability of cycles within a heteroclinic network lying in a three-dimensional manifold formed by six cycles, for a one-parameter model developed in the context of game theory. We show the asymptotic stability of the…
Robust heteroclinic cycles are known to change stability in resonance bifurcations, which occur when an algebraic condition on the eigenvalues of the system is satisfied and which typically result in the creation or destruction of a…
This article is concerned with three heteroclinic cycles forming a heteroclinic network in ${\mathbb R}^6$. The stability of the cycles and of the network are studied. The cycles are of a type that has not been studied before, and provide…
A family of periodic perturbations of an attracting robust heteroclinic cycle defined on the two-sphere is studied by reducing the analysis to that of a one-parameter family of maps on a circle. The set of zeros of the family forms a…
Using a vector field in $\mathbb{R}^4$, we provide an example of a robust heteroclinic cycle between two equilibria that displays a mix of features exhibited by well-known types of low-dimensional heteroclinic structures, including simple,…
We describe all heteroclinic networks in $\mathbb{R}^4$ made of simple heteroclinic cycles of types $B$ or $C$, with at least one common connecting trajectory. For networks made of cycles of type $B$, we study the stability of the cycles…
We study behaviour of trajectories near a type Z heteroclinic network which is a union of two cycles. Analytical and numerical studies indicate that attractiveness of this network can be associated with various kinds of dynamics in its…
The stability of heteroclinic cycles may be obtained from the value of the local stability index along each connection of the cycle. We establish a way of calculating the local stability index for quasi-simple cycles: cycles whose…
Heteroclinic cycles are sequences of equilibria along with trajectories that connect them in a cyclic manner. We investigate a class of robust heteroclinic cycles that does not satisfy the usual condition that all connections between…
Dynamical systems containing heteroclinic cycles and networks can be invoked as models of intransitive competition between three or more species. When populations are assumed to be well-mixed, a system of ordinary differential equations…
We study heteroclinic networks in $\mathbb{R}^4$, made of a certain type of simple robust heteroclinic cycle. In simple cycles all the connections are of saddle-sink type in two-dimensional fixed-point spaces. We show that there exist only…
The effect of small forced symmetry breaking on the dynamics near a structurally stable heteroclinic cycle connecting two equilibria and a periodic orbit is investigated. This type of system is known to exhibit complicated, possibly chaotic…
The concept of stability has a long history in the field of dynamical systems: stable invariant objects are the ones that would be expected to be observed in experiments and numerical simulations. Heteroclinic networks are invariant objects…
We study the dynamics near heteroclinic networks for which all eigenvalues of the linearization at the equilibria are real. A common connection and an assumption on the geometry of its incoming and outgoing directions exclude even the…
Homoclinic and heteroclinic connections can form cycles and networks in phase space, which organize global phenomena in dynamical systems. On the one hand, stability notions for (omni)cycles give insight into how many initial conditions…
Heteroclinic connections are trajectories that link invariant sets for an autonomous dynamical flow: these connections can robustly form networks between equilibria, for systems with flow-invariant spaces. In this paper we examine the…
The need to build a link between the structure of a complex network and the dynamical properties of the corresponding complex system (comprised of multiple low dimensional systems) has recently become apparent. Several attempts to tackle…
We address the question how a given connection structure (directed graph) can be realised as a heteroclinic network that is complete in the sense that it contains all unstable manifolds of its equilibria. For a directed graph consisting of…
Networks of interacting nodes connected by edges arise in almost every branch of scientific enquiry. The connectivity structure of the network can force the existence of invariant subspaces, which would not arise in generic dynamical…
