Stochastic quasi-cycles for a two species model of the excitatory-inhibitory type, arranged on a triangular loop, are studied. By increasing the strength of the inter-nodes coupling, one moves the system towards the Hopf bifurcation and the…
Nonlinear normal modes are periodic orbits that survive in nonlinear many-body Hamiltonian systems, and their instability is crucial for relaxation dynamics. Here, we study the instability process of the $\pi/3$-mode in the…
Properties of spatially dependent relaxation oscillations near a SNIPER bifurcation are described. A SNIPER bifurcation creates a large-amplitude long-period periodic orbit via the annihilation of a pair of fixed points in a saddle-node…
We review recent computational results for hexagon patterns in non-Boussinesq convection. For sufficiently strong dependence of the fluid parameters on the temperature we find reentrance of steady hexagons, i.e. while near onset the hexagon…
A delayed differential equation modelling a single neuron with inertial term is considered in this paper. Hopf bifurcation is studied by using the normal form theory of retarded functional differential equations. When adopting a…
We study the emergence of symmetric oscillatory behavior in multi-agent systems where each agent incorporates a continuous memory of its past states and past rates of change, modeled by distributed retarded and neutral delays. The…
Traveling wavetrains in generalized two-species predator-prey models and two-component reaction-diffusion equations are considered. The stability of the fixed points of the traveling wave ODEs (in the usual "spatial" variable) is…
In this work, we demonstrate that the Hindmarsh-Rose model subjected to additive white noise exhibits birhythmicity. Specifically, the system fluctuates between two distinct bursting attractors characterized by different numbers of spikes.…

An optomechanical oscillator undergoes a Hopf bifurcation that connects two dynamical regimes with different information-processing capabilities: thermal Brownian motion and coherent self-sustained oscillation. Below threshold, the…
We present a novel form of collective oscillatory behavior in the kinetics of irreversible coagulation with a constant input of monomers and removal of large clusters. For a broad class of collision rates, this system reaches a…
Subcritical Turing bifurcations of reaction-diffusion systems in large domains lead to spontaneous onset of well-developed localised patterns via the homoclinic snaking mechanism. This phenomenon is shown to occur naturally when balancing…
We present a result concerning the mean value of orbits emerging from Hopf bifurcations. We then apply this result to identify a new phenomenon termed {\it oscillation-induced gain modulation}. A Hopf bifurcation of a system $\dot{x} = f(x;…
We report an experimental study of the dynamics of an air-fluidized thin granular layer. Near-onset behavior of this shallow fluidized bed was described in the earlier paper (Tsimring et al, 1999). Above the threshold of fluidization the…
We consider a self-oscillator whose excitation parameter is varied. Frequency of the variation is much smaller then the natural frequency of the oscillator so that oscillations in the system are periodically excited and decay. Also a time…
Bistability generated via a pure noise-induced phase transition is reexamined from the view of bifurcations in macroscopic cumulant dynamics. It allows an analytical study of the phase diagram in more general cases than previous methods. In…
A rationale is provided for the emergence of synchronization in a system of coupled oscillators in a stick-slip motion. The single oscillator has a limit cycle in a region of the state space for each parameter set beyond the supercritical…
We study numerically the development of chimera states in networks of nonlocally coupled oscillators whose limit cycles emerge from a Hopf bifurcation. This dynamical system is inspired from population dynamics and consists of three…
