Parabolic bifurcations in one complex dimension demonstrate a wide variety of interesting dynamical phenomena. In this paper we consider parabolic bifurcations of families of diffeomorphisms in two complex dimensions. Specifically we…
We consider a widely used form of models for ship maneuvering, whose nonlinearities entail continuous but nonsmooth second-order modulus terms. For such models bifurcations of straight motion are not amenable to standard center manifold…
Fast-slow dynamical systems have subsystems that evolve on vastly different timescales, and bifurcations in such systems can arise due to changes in any or all subsystems. We classify bifurcations of the critical set (the equilibria of the…
Breaking the chiral symmetry, rotation induces a secondary Hopf bifurcation in weakly nonlinear hexagon patterns which gives rise to oscillating hexagons. We study the stability of the oscillating hexagons using three coupled…

We investigate the stability loss of invariant n-dimensional quasi-periodic tori during a double Hopf bifurcation, where at bifurcation the two normal frequencies are in normal-normal resonance. Invariants are used to analyse the normal…
A periodic perturbation generates a complicated dynamics close to separatrices and saddle points. We construct an asymptotic solution which is close to the separatrix for the unperturbed Duffing's oscillator over a long time. This solution…

A 1:2 internally resonant mechanical system can undergo secondary Hopf (Neimark-Sacker) bifurcations, resulting in a quasi-periodic response when the system is subject to harmonic excitation. While these quasi-periodic orbits have been…
The phenomenology of a system of two coupled quadratic maps is studied both analytically and numerically. Conditions for synchronization are given and the bifurcations of periodic orbits from this regime are identified. In addition, we show…
We analyze a family of clustered excitatory-inhibitory neural networks and the underlying bifurcation structures that arise because of permutation symmetries in the network as the global coupling strength $g$ is varied. We primarily…
Motivated by recent analytical and numerical work on two- and three-dimensional convection with imposed spatial periodicity, we analyse three examples of bifurcations from a continuous group orbit of spatio-temporally symmetric periodic…
We investigate planar piecewise-smooth vector fields with a discontinuity line, focusing on the bifurcation of crossing limit cycles that arise when one of the vector fields is translated along the discontinuity set. We establish…
Analytical perturbations of a family of finite-dimensional Poisson systems are considered. It is shown that the family is analytically orbitally conjugate in $U \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ to a planar harmonic oscillator defined on the symplectic…
By varying a parameter of a one-dimensional piecewise smooth map, stable periodic orbits are observed. In this paper, complete analytic characterization of these stable periodic orbits is obtained. An interesting relationship between the…
Random diffeomorphisms with bounded absolutely continuous noise are known to possess a finite number of stationary measures. We discuss dependence of stationary measures on an auxiliary parameter, thus describing bifurcations of families of…
In nontwist systems, primary shearless curves act as barriers to chaotic transport. Surprisingly, the onset of secondary shearless curves has been reported in a few twist systems. Meanwhile, we found that, in twist systems, the onset of…

In the inclined layer convection system, thermal convection in a Rayleigh--B\'enard cell tilted against gravity, the flow is subject to competing buoyancy and shear forces. For varying inclination angle ($\gamma$) and Rayleigh number…
