In this paper, we present a criterion for pitchfork bifurcation of smooth vector fields based on a topological argument. Our result expands Rajapakse and Smale's result \cite{RS2} significantly. Based on our criterion, we present a class of…
We consider Hamiltonian systems which can be described both classically and quantum mechanically. Trace formulas establish links between the energy spectra of the quantum description and the spectrum of actions of periodic orbits in the…
We propose a model for local dynamics of a perturbed convex real-analytic Liouville-integrable Hamiltonian system near a resonance of multiplicity $1+m, m\geq 0$. Physically, the model represents a toroidal pendulum, coupled with a…
Harmonic inversion has already been proven to be a powerful tool for the analysis of quantum spectra and the periodic orbit orbit quantization of chaotic systems. The harmonic inversion technique circumvents the convergence problems of the…
Following Part~I, we consider a class of reversible systems and study bifurcations of homoclinic orbits to hyperbolic saddle equilibria. Here we concentrate on the case in which homoclinic orbits are symmetric, so that only one control…
Oscillations in the probability density of quantum transitions of the eigenstates of a chaotic Hamiltonian within classically narrow energy ranges have been shown to depend on closed compound orbits. These are formed by a pair of orbit…
Complex dynamical systems may exhibit multiple steady states, including time-periodic limit cycles, where the final trajectory depends on initial conditions. With tuning of parameters, limit cycles can proliferate or merge at an exceptional…
Quasi-periodic trajectories with two or more incommensurate frequencies are ubiquitous in nonlinear dynamics, yet the classical Fourier-based time-spectral method is tied to strictly periodic responses. We introduce a torus time-spectral…
The correlation energies of the helium isoelectronic sequence and of Hooke's atom isoelectronic sequence have been evaluated using an assortment of local, gradient and meta-gradient density functionals. The results are compared with the…

Wave propagation and acoustic scattering problems require vast computational resources to be solved accurately at high frequencies. Asymptotic methods can make this cost potentially frequency independent by explicitly extracting the…
It is shown that electron backscattering can enhance high-harmonic generation in periodic systems with broken translational symmetry. Paradigmatically, we derive for a finite chain of atoms the harmonic cutoff due to electrons backscattered…
General amplitude equations for reaction-diffusion systems near to the soft onset of birhythmicity described by a supercritical pitchfork-Hopf bifurcation are derived. Using these equations and applying singular perturbation theory, we show…
A two-parameter extension of the density-scaled double hybrid approach of Sharkas et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 134, 064113 (2011)] is presented. It is based on the explicit treatment of a fraction of multideterminantal exact exchange. The…
In this work we analyze PT-symmetric double-well potentials based on a two-mode picture. We reduce the problem into a PT-symmetric dimer and illustrate that the latter has effectively two fundamental bifurcations, a pitchfork…
Isochronous islands in phase space emerge in twist Hamiltonian systems as a response to multiple resonant perturbations. According to the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem, the number of islands depends on the system characteristics and the…
This paper illustrates the application of Lie transform normal-form theory to the construction of the 1:2 resonant normal form corresponding to a wide class of natural Hamiltonian systems. We show how to compute the bifurcations of the main…
The slow drift (with speed $\eps$) of a parameter through a pitchfork bifurcation point, known as the dynamic pitchfork bifurcation, is characterized by a significant delay of the transition from the unstable to the stable state. We…
In semiclassical studies of systems with mixed phase space, the neighbourhood of bifurcations of co-dimension two is felt strongly even though such bifurcations are ungeneric in classical mechanics. We discuss a scenario which reveals this…
Convection in an infinite fluid layer is often modelled by considering a finite box with periodic boundary conditions in the two horizontal directions. The translational invariance of the problem implies that any solution can be translated…
