We construct an auto-validated algorithm that calculates a close to identity change of variables which brings a general saddle point into a normal form. The transformation is robust in the underlying vector field, and is analytic on a…
We study bifurcations of vector fields on 2-manifolds with handles in generic one-parameter families unfolding vector fields with a separatrix loop of a hyperbolic saddle. These bifurcations can differ drastically from the analogous…

Three-dimensional convex bodies can be classified in terms of the number and stability types of critical points on which they can balance at rest on a horizontal plane. For typical bodies these are nondegenerate maxima, minima, and…
We study the interaction of saddle-node and transcritical bifurcations in a Lotka-Volterra model with a constant term representing harvesting or migration. Because some of the equilibria of the model lie on an invariant coordinate axis,…
We show that a one-dimensional differential equation depending on a parameter $\mu$ with a saddle-node bifurcation at $\mu =0$ can be modelled by an extended normal form $\dot y = \nu (\mu )-y^2+a(\mu )y^3$, where the functions $\nu$ and…
Standard bifurcation theory is concerned with families of vector fields $dx/dt = f(x,\lambda)$, $x \in \R^n$, involving one or several constant real parameters $\lambda$. Viewed as a differential equation for the pair $(x,\lambda)$, we…
We study main bifurcations of multidimensional diffeomorphisms having a non-transversal homoclinic orbit to a saddle-node fixed point. On a parameter plane we build a bifurcation diagram for single-round periodic orbits lying entirely in a…
When a real saddle equilibrium in a three-dimensional vector field undergoes a homoclinic bifurcation, the associated two-dimensional invariant manifold of the equilibrium closes on itself in an orientable or non-orientable way. We are…
The saddle-node bifurcation is the simplest example of a generic bifurcation in smooth ordinary differential equations, and is associated with the creation or destruction of a pair of equilibria. In this paper we examine the unfolding of…
We analyze situations where a saddle-node bifurcation occurs on a fractal basin boundary. Specifically, we are interested in what happens when a system parameter is slowly swept in time through the bifurcation. Such situations are known to…
We describe all possible topological structures of typical one-parameter bifurcations of gradient flows on the 2-sphere with holes in the case that the number of singular point of flows is at most six. To describe structures, we separatrix…
We develop a variational minimax method for detecting maximal saddle-node bifurcations in abstract nonlinear equations. Unlike continuation and path-following techniques, the method identifies the critical parameter directly as an extremal…

This paper extends and generalizes previous works on constructing combinatorial multivector fields from continuous systems (see [10]) and the construction of combinatorial vector fields from data (see [2]) by introducing an optimization…
In a smooth dynamical system, a homoclinic connection is a closed orbit returning to a saddle equilibrium. Under perturbation, homoclinics are associated with bifurcations of periodic orbits, and with chaos in higher dimensions. Homoclinic…
In this paper we describe a combined combinatorial/numerical approach to studying equilibria and bifurcations in network models arising in Systems Biology. ODE models of the dynamics suffer from high dimensional parameters which presents a…
