A numerical tool for the detection of degenerated symmetry breaking bifurcation points is presented. The degeneracies are classified and numerically processed on 1-D restrictions of the bifurcation equation. The test functions that characterise each of the equivalence classes are constructed by means of an equivariant numerical version of the Liapunov-Schmidt reduction. The classification suppl...

Grazing bifurcations in impact oscillators characterize the transition in asymptotic dynamics between impacting and non-impacting motions. Several different grazing bifurcation scenarios under variations of a single system parameter have been previously documented in the literature. In the present paper, the transition between two characteristically different co-dimension-one grazing bifurcatio...

Hopf bifurcation theory for an oscillator subject to a weak feedback but a large delay is investigated for a specific laser system. The problem is motivated by semiconductor laser instabilities which are initiated by undesirable optical feedbacks. Most of these instabilities are starting from a single Hopf bifurcation. Because of the large delay, a delayed amplitude appears in the slow time bif...

The slow passage problem, the slow variation of a control parameter, is explored in a model problem that posses several co-existing equilibria (fixed points, limit cycles and 2-tori), and these are either created or destroyed or change their stability as control parameters are varied through Hopf, Neimark-Sacker and torus break-up bifurcations. The slow passage through the Hopf bifurcation beha...

In this work we consider the border collision bifurcations occurring in a one-dimensional piecewise linear map with two discontinuity points. The map, motivated by an economic application, is written in a generic form and considered in the stable regime, with all slopes between zero and one. We prove that the period adding structures occur in maps with more than one discontinuity points and tha...

When a real homotopy is used for solving a polynomial system with real coefficients, bifurcation of some of the homotopy paths at singular points is inevitable. The main result of this paper shows that, generically, the solution set of a real homotopy contains no singular point other than a finite number of quadratic turning points. At a quadratic turning point, the bifurcation phenomenon is qu...

This paper presents the outcome of power series analysis in the framework of the Asymptotic Numerical Method. We theoretically demonstrate and numerically evidence that the emergence of geometric power series in the vicinity of simple bifurcation points is a generic behavior. So we propose to use this hallmark as a bifurcation indicator to locate and compute very efficiently any simple bifurcat...

In this paper, the bifurcation analysis for Burgers mapping has been studied. The existence and stability of the fixed points of this map was derived. The conditions of existence for pitchfork bifurcation, flip bifurcation and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation are derived by using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory. The control of the map around stable NeimarkSacker bifurcation has been ac...

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...
