This paper presents a numerical analysis of the transition from selective withdrawal to viscous entrainment. In our model problem, an interface between two immiscible layers of equal viscosity is deformed by an axisymmetric withdrawal flow,…
We give several algorithms addressing computations of intersections of conjugate subgroups.
Given a surface S in P^3 and a collection of general points on it, how many surfaces of a given degree intersect S in a curve with prescribed multiplicities at the points? We formulate two natural conjectures which would answer this…
Bifurcation analysis collects techniques for characterizing the dependence of certain classes of solutions of a dynamical system on variations in problem parameters. Common solution classes of interest include equilibria and periodic…
We describe all possible topological structures of Morse flows and typical gradient saddle-nod bifurcation of flows on the 2-dimensional torus with a hole in the case that the number of singular point of flows is at most six. To describe…
We give a classification of generic bifurcations of intersections of wavefronts generated by different points of a hypersurface with or without boundaries.
We study intersections of projective convex sets in the sense of Steinitz. In a projective space, an intersection of a nonempty family of convex sets splits into multiple connected components each of which is a convex set. Hence, such an…
We study the pattern of activated trajectories in a double well system without detailed balance, in the weak noise limit. The pattern may contain cusps and other singular features, which are similar to the caustics of geometrical optics.…
A wide range of equations related to free surface motion in two dimensions exhibit the formation of cusp singularities either in time, or as function of a parameter. We review a number of specific examples, relating in particular to fluid…
Several new combinatorial descriptions of closed 4-manifolds have recently been introduced in the study of smooth maps from 4-manifolds to surfaces. These descriptions consist of simple closed curves in a closed, orientable surface and…
We answer to a problem raised by recent work of Jelonek and Kurdyka: how can one detect by rational arcs the bifurcation locus of a polynomial map $\bR^n\to\bR^p$ in case $p>1$. We describe an effective estimation of the "nontrivial" part…
We determine the number of cusps of minimal Picard modular surfaces. The proof also counts cusps of other Picard modular surfaces of arithmetic interest. Consequently, for each N > 0 there are finitely many commensurability classes of…
The stable and unstable manifolds of an invariant set of a piecewise-smooth map are themselves piecewise-smooth. Consequently, as parameters of a piecewise-smooth map are varied, an invariant set can develop a homoclinic connection when its…
It is well known since Jacobi that the geodesic flow of the ellipsoid is "completely integrable", which means that the geodesic orbits are described in a certain explicit way. However, it does not directly indicate that any global behavior…
Numerical bifurcation analysis, and in particular two-parameter continuation, is used in consort with numerical simulation to reveal complicated dynamics in the Mackey-Glass equation for moderate values of the delay close to the onset of…
The multiplicity of an algebraic curve $C$ in the complex plane at a point $p$ on that curve is defined as the number of points that occur at the intersection of $C$ with a general complex line that passes close to the point $p$. It is…
Bifurcations in a system of coupled maps are investigated. Using symbolic dynamics it is proven that for coupled shift maps the well known space--time--mixing attractor becomes unstable at a critical coupling strength in favour of a…
The simplest patterns of qualitative changes on the configurations of lines of principal curvature} around umbilic points on surfaces whose immersions into $\mathbb R^3$ depend smoothly on a real parameter (codimension one umbilic…
Clustering bifurcations are investigated by considering models of globally coupled map lattices. Typical classes of clustering bifurcations are revealed. The clustering bifurcation thresholds of the coupled system are closely related to the…
We study bifurcations of non-orientable area-preserving maps with quadratic homoclinic tangencies. We study the case when the maps are given on non-orientable two-dimensional surfaces. We consider one and two parameter general unfoldings…
