In this paper, we study limit cycle bifurcations for a kind of non-smooth polynomial differential systems by perturbing a piecewise linear Hamiltonian system with a center at the origin and a homoclinic loop around the origin. By using the…

We present an extension of the theory known as Lin's method to heteroclinic chains that connect hyperbolic equilibria and hyperbolic periodic orbits. Based on the construction of a so-called Lin orbit, that is, a sequence of continuous…

We consider Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the Euclidean space, generated by compactly supported time-dependent perturbations of hyperbolic quadratic forms. We prove that, under some natural assumptions, such a diffeomorphism must have…

We study bifurcations of area-preserving maps, both orientable (symplectic) and non-orientable, with quadratic homoclinic tangencies. We consider one and two parameter general unfoldings and establish results related to the appearance of…

We study bifurcations of periodic orbits in three parameter general unfoldings of certain types quadratic homoclinic tangencies to saddle fixed points. We apply the rescaling technique to first return (Poincar\'e) maps and show that the…

Studying 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) Hamiltonian dynamical systems often involves the computation of stable & unstable manifolds of periodic orbits, due to the homoclinic & heteroclinic connections they can generate. Such study is generally…

The present work studies the robustness of certain basic homoclinic motions in an equilateral restricted four body problem. The problem can be viewed as a two parameter family of conservative autonomous vector fields. The main tools are…

We prove a general theorem on the existence of heteroclinic orbits in Hilbert spaces, and present a method to reduce the solutions of some P.D.E. problems to such orbits. In our first application, we give a new proof in a slightly more…

We describe a new mechanism that triggers periodic orbits in smooth dynamical systems. To this end, we introduce the concept of hybrid bifurcations: Such bifurcations occur when a line of equilibria with an exchange point of normal…

This paper studies a class of $1\frac12$-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with a slowly varying phase that unfolds a Hamiltonian pitchfork bifurcation. The main result of the paper is that there exists an order of…

Motivated by a certain type of unfolding of a Hopf-Hopf singularity, we consider a one-parameter family $(f_\gamma)_{\gamma\geq0}$ of $C^3$--vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^4$ whose flows exhibit a heteroclinic cycle associated to two periodic…

In this paper are provided some sufficient conditions for a non autonomous scalar differential equation to have saddle node, transcritical and pitchfork bifurcations using higher order derivatives.

We describe and characterize rigorously the chaotic behavior of the sine-Gordon equation. The existence of invariant manifolds and the persistence of homoclinic orbits for a perturbed sine--Gordon equation are established. We apply a…

Controllability properties are studied for control-affine systems depending on a parameter and with constrained control values. The uncontrolled systems in dimension two and three are subject to a homoclinic bifurcation. This generates two…

Homoclinic chaos is usually examined with the hypothesis of hyperbolicity of the critical point. We consider here, following a (suitably adjusted) classical analytic method, the case of non-hyperbolic points and show that, under a…

This work develops a functional analytic framework for making computer assisted arguments involving transverse heteroclinic connecting orbits between hyperbolic periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations. We exploit a…

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…

We consider a homoclinic orbit to a saddle fixed point of an arbitrary $C^\infty$ map $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and study the phenomenon that $f$ has an infinite family of asymptotically stable, single-round periodic solutions. From classical…

In this paper, we deal with limit cycle bifurcations near a double homoclinic loop with a nilpotent saddle of order 2 by studying expansions of the first order Melnikov functions near the loop and coefficients in these expansions. More…

In this contribution, the optimal stabilization problem of periodic orbits is studied via invariant manifold theory and symplectic geometry. The stable manifold theory for the optimal point stabilization case is generalized to the case of…
