Numerical Methods for Two-Parameter Local Bifurcation Analysis of Maps

Numerical Methods for Two-Parameter Local Bifurcation Analysis of Maps

We discuss new and improved algorithms for the bifurcation analysis of fixed points and periodic orbits (cycles) of maps and their implementation in matcont, a matlab toolbox for continuation and bifurcation analysis of dynamical systems. This includes the numerical continuation of fixed points of iterates of the map with one control parameter, detecting and locating their bifurcation points (i...

Two-Parameter Bifurcation Analysis of the Buck Converter

This paper is concerned with the analysis of two-parameter bifurcation phenomena in the buck power converter. It is shown that the complex dynamics of the converter can be unfolded by considering higher codimension bifurcation points in two-parameter space. Specifically, standard smooth bifurcations are shown to merge with discontinuity-induced bifurcation (DIB) curves, giving rise to intricate...

Numerical free vibration analysis of higher-order shear deformable beams resting on two-parameter elastic foundation

Free vibration analysis of higher-order shear deformation beam resting on one- and two-parameter elasticfoundation is studied using differential transform method (DTM) as a part of a calculation procedure. First,the governing differential equations of beam are derived in a general form considering the shear-freeboundary conditions (zero shear stress conditions at the top and bottom of a beam). ...

Numerical Analysis for Nonlinear and Bifurcation Problems

PREFACE Computational applications generally involve nonlinear problems and often contain parameters. They may represent properties of the physical system they describe or quantities which can be varied. A basic problem in approximation consists in studying existence and convergence of approximated solutions for a given nonlinear problem, for instance when the parameters are xed. Another proble...
