Resonance tongues are mode-locking regions of parameter space in which stable periodic solutions occur; they commonly occur, for example, near Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. For piecewise-smooth, continuous maps these tongues typically have a distinctive lens-chain (or sausage) shape in two-parameter bifurcation diagrams. We give a symbolic description of a class of “rotational” periodic solution...

The objective of this letter is to report on the usefulness of a l-dimensional map for characterizing the dynamics of a third-order piecewise-linear circuit. The map is used to reproduce period-doubling birfurcations and particularly to compute Feigenbaum’s number. The l-dimensional map gives qualitatively identical results as the circuit equations and proved to be far more computationally effi...

The complex, so called meandering, dynamics of spiral waves in excitable media is examined from the point of view of bifurcation theory. A computational bifurcation analysis is made of spiral dynamics. It is shown that spiral meandering is organized in parameter space around a codimension-two point where a Hopf bifurcation from rotating waves interacts with symmetries on the plane. A simple mod...

In this paper, a modified delayed mathematical model for the dynamics of HIV with cure rate is considered. By regarding the time delay as bifurcation parameter, stability and existence of local Hopf bifurcation are studied by analyzing the transcendental characteristic equation. Then the global existence of bifurcating periodic solutions is established with the assistance of global Hopf bifurca...

The bifurcation structure is presented for an axisymmetric swirling flow in a constricted pipe, using the pipe geometry of Beran and Culick [J. Fluid Mech. 242, 491 (1992)]. The flow considered has been restricted to a two-dimensional parameter space comprising the Reynolds number Re and the relative swirl V, of the incoming swirling flow. The bifurcation diagram is constructed by solving the t...

We study a plethora of chaotic phenomena in the Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model with the use of several computational techniques including the bifurcation parameter continuation, spike-quantification, and evaluation of Lyapunov exponents in bi-parameter diagrams. Such an aggregated approach allows for detecting regions of simple and chaotic dynamics, and demarcating borderlines-exact bifurcation cu...

In this paper, we analyze the stability and Hopf bifurcation of the biological economic system based on the new normal form and the Hopf bifurcation theorem. The basic model we consider is owed to a ratio-dependent predator–prey system with harvesting, compared with other researches on dynamics of predator–prey population, this system is described by differential-algebraic equations due to econ...

About a three-dimensional autonomous continuous Lorenz-like system. Through the full analysis of equilibrium points, we can derive the parameter condition of Hopf bifurcation; Next we adopt a Washout filter controller designed independently to control the Hopf bifurcation of the system, and the effect of the controller’s parameters on the position of bifurcation point, the bifurcation type, and...

this paper investigates the dynamics and stability properties of a discrete-time lotka-volterra type system. we first analyze stability of the fixed points and the existence of local bifurcations. our analysis shows the presence of rich variety of local bifurcations, namely, stable fixed points; in which population numbers remain constant, periodic cycles; in which population numbers oscillate amo...

A bifurcation occurs when an elastic filament rotates in a viscous fluid at frequency ω (bifurcation parameter). We use the immersed boundary (IB) method to study the interaction between the elastic filament and the surrounding viscous fluid as governed by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, and to determine the nature of the bifurcation, which turns out to be subcritical.
