Chaos via Shilnikov's saddle-node bifurcation in a theory of the electroencephalogram.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the bifurcation diagram of a mesoscopic model of the human cortex. This model is known to exhibit robust chaotic behavior in the space of parameters that model exterior forcing. We show that the bifurcation diagram has an unusual degree of organization. In particular, we show that the chaos is spawned by a codimension-one homoclinic bifurcation that was analyzed by Shilnikov in 1969 but has never before been found in a physical application.

Nonautonomous saddle-Node bifurcations in the Quasiperiodically Forced logistic Map
We provide a local saddle-node bifurcation result for quasiperiodically forced interval maps. As an application, we give a rigorous description of saddle-node bifurcations of 3-periodic graphs in the quasiperiodically forced logistic map with small forcing amplitude. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.
متن کاملDelay-Induced Multistability Near a Global bifurcation
We study the effect of a time-delayed feedback within a generic model for a saddle-node bifurcation on a limit cycle. Without delay the only attractor below this global bifurcation is a stable node. Delay renders the phase space infinite-dimensional and creates multistability of periodic orbits and the fixed point. Homoclinic bifurcations, period-doubling and saddle-node bifurcations of limit c...
متن کاملNonautonomous saddle-Node bifurcation in a Canonical electrostatic MEMS
We study the existence and stability of periodic solutions of a canonical mass-spring model of electrostatically actuated micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) by means of classical topological techniques like a-priori bounds, Leray-Schauder degree and topological index. A saddle-node bifurcation is revealed, in analogy with the autonomous case.
متن کاملModulated amplitude waves and the transition from phase to defect chaos
The mechanism for transitions from phase to defect chaos in the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) is presented. We describe periodic coherent structures of the CGLE, called modulated amplitude waves (MAWs). MAWs of various periods P occur in phase chaotic states. A bifurcation study of the MAWs reveals that for sufficiently large period, pairs of MAWs cease to exist via a ...
متن کاملA Remark on heteroclinic bifurcations Near Steady State/Pitchfork bifurcations
We consider a bifurcation that occurs in some two-dimensional vector fields, namely a codimension-one bifurcation in which there is simultaneously the creation of a pair of equilibria via a steady state bifurcation and the destruction of a large amplitude periodic orbit. We show that this phenomenon may occur in an unfolding of the saddle-node/pitchfork normal form equations, although not near ...
