We discuss various bifurcation problems in which two isolated periodic orbits exchange periodic ``bridge'' orbit(s) between two successive bifurcations. We propose normal forms which locally describe the corresponding fixed point scenarios…

The shape of biological shells, such as cell nuclei, membranes, and vesicles, often deviates from a perfect sphere due to an interplay of complex interactions with a myriad of molecular structures. In particular, semiflexible biopolymers…
