In the study of global bifurcations of vector fields on $S^2$, it is important to distinguish a set "where the bifurcation actually occurs", -- the bifurcation support. Hopefully, it is sufficient to study the bifurcation in a neighborhood…

Bifurcation with symmetry is considered in the case of an isotropy subgroup with a two-dimensional fixed point subspace and non-zero quadratic terms. In general, there are one or three branches of solutions, and five qualitatively different…

Bifurcation analysis collects techniques for characterizing the dependence of certain classes of solutions of a dynamical system on variations in problem parameters. Common solution classes of interest include equilibria and periodic…

This article reveals an analysis of the quadratic systems that hold multiparametric families therefore, in the first instance the quadratic systems are identified and classified in order to facilitate their study and then the stability of…

There exists a variety of physically interesting situations described by continuous maps that are nondifferentiable on some surface in phase space. Such systems exhibit novel types of bifurcations in which multiple coexisting attractors can…

There are few examples of non-autonomous vector fields exhibiting complex dynamics that may be proven analytically. We analyse a family of periodic perturbations of a weakly attracting robust heteroclinic network defined on the two-sphere.…

In diverse physical systems stable oscillatory solutions devolve into more complicated dynamical behaviour through border-collision bifurcations. Mathematically these occur when a stable fixed point of a piecewise-smooth map collides with a…

We continue our investigation of the parameter space of families of polynomial skew products. Assuming that the base polynomial has a Julia set not totally disconnected and is neither a Chebyshev nor a power map, we prove that, near any…

We study stability and bifurcations in holomorphic families of polynomial automorphisms of C^2. We say that such a family is weakly stable over some parameter domain if periodic orbits do not bifurcate there. We first show that this defines…

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…

In recent years the theory of border collision bifurcations has been developed for piecewise smooth maps that are continuous across the border, and has been successfully applied to explain nonsmooth bifurcation phenomena in physical…

We study bifurcation for the constant scalar curvature equation along a one-parameter family of Riemannian metrics on the total space of a harmonic Riemannian submersion. We provide an existence theorem for bifurcation points and a…

Let $X$ be a proper CAT($0$) space and $G$ a cocompact group of isometries of $X$ without fixed point at infinity. We prove that if $\partial X$ contains an invariant subset of circumradius $\pi/2$, then $X$ contains a quasi-dense, closed…

We classify global bifurcations in generic one-parameter local families of \vfs on $S^2$ with a parabolic cycle. The classification is quite different from the classical results presented in monographs on the bifurcation theory. As a by…

We study two-dimensional, two-piece, piecewise-linear maps having two saddle fixed points. Such maps reduce to a four-parameter family and are well known to have a chaotic attractor throughout open regions of parameter space. The purpose of…

A digraph $D=(V,A)$ has a good decomposition if $A$ has two disjoint sets $A_1$ and $A_2$ such that both $(V,A_1)$ and $(V,A_2)$ are strong. Let $T$ be a digraph with $t$ vertices $u_1,\dots , u_t$ and let $H_1,\dots H_t$ be digraphs such…

Piecewise-linear maps describe dynamical phenomena that switch between distinct states and readily generate complex bifurcation structures due to their strong nonlinearity. We show that two-dimensional continuous piecewise-linear maps near…

This paper is concerned with the analysis of a class of impacting systems of relevance in applications: cam-follower systems. We show that these systems, which can be modelled as discontinuously forced impact oscillators, can exhibit…

Soft materials, such as liquids, polymers, foams, gels, colloids, granular materials, and most soft biological materials, play an important role in our daily lives. From a mechanical viewpoint, soft materials can easily achieve large…

Oscillatory dynamics are ubiquitous in biological networks. Possible sources of oscillations are well understood in low-dimensional systems, but have not been fully explored in high-dimensional networks. Here we study large networks…
