We study local and global bifurcations of nonconstant solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation from the families of constant ones. As the topological tools we use the equivariant Conley index and the degree for equivariant gradient maps.

The generic unfolding of codimension $n$ flips (one eigenvalue $-1$ and the others with norm different from 1) embedded in a Morse–Smale diffeomorphism is analyzed. Local and global bifurcations are described.

In this work, we perform a systematic numerical investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of an inverted pendulum between lateral rebounding barriers. Three different families of considerably variable attractors—periodic, chaotic, and rest positions with subsequent chattering—are found. All of them are investigated, in detail, and the response scenario is determined by both bifurcation diagrams and behavior charts of single attractors, and overall maps. Attention is focused on local and global bifurcations that lead to the attractor-basin metamorphoses. Numerical results show the extreme richness of the dynamical response of the system, which is deemed to be of interest also in view of prospective mechanical applications.
