The results of a study of the bifurcation diagram of the Hindmarsh–Rose neuron model in a two-dimensional parameter space are reported. This diagram shows the existence and extent of complex bifurcation structures that might be useful to understand the mechanisms used by the neurons to encode information and give rapid responses to stimulus. Moreover, the information contained in this phase diagram provides a background to develop our understanding of the dynamics of interacting neurons.

A new mechanism to explain the first order ferroelastic—ferroelectric transition in Terbium Molybdate (TMO) is presented. From group theory analysis it is shown that in the two-dimensional parameter space ordering along either an axis or a diagonal is forbidden. These symmetry-imposed singularities are found to make the unique stable fixed point not accessible for TMO. A continuous transition even if allowed within Landau theory is thus impossible once fluctuations are included. The TMO transition is therefore always first order. This explanation is supported by experimental results.

We consider the codimension-three phenomenon of homoclinic bifurcations of flows containing a pair of orbits homoclinic to a saddle point whose principal eigenvalues are in resonance. We concentrate upon the simplest possible configuration, the so-called "figure-of-eight," and reduce the dynamics near the homoclinic connections to those on a two-dimensional locally invariant centre manifold. The ensuing resonant gluing bifurcations exhibit features of both gluing bifurcations and resonant homoclinic bifurcations. Under certain twist conditions, the bifurcation structure is extremely rich, although describing zero-entropy flows. The analysis carefully exploits the topology of the orbits, the centre manifold and the parameter space.

In this paper, the effects of external DC electric fields on the neuro-computational properties are investigated in the context of Morris–Lecar (ML) model with bifurcation analysis. We obtain the detailed bifurcation diagram in two-dimensional parameter space of externally applied DC current and trans-membrane potential induced by external DC electric field. The bifurcation sets partition the two-dimensional parameter space in terms of the qualitatively different behaviors of the ML model. Thus the neuron's information encodes the stimulus information, and vice versa, which is significant in neural control. Furthermore, we identify the electric field as a key parameter to control the transitions among four different excitability and spiking properties, which facilitates the design of electric fields based neuronal modulation method.

Periodically driven strictly dissipative nonlinear oscillators in general possess a recurring bifurcation structure in parameter space. It consists of slightly modified versions of a basic pattern of bifurcation curves that was found to be essentially the same for many different oscillators. The periodic orbits involved in these bifurcation scenarios also possess common topological properties characterized in terms of their torsion numbers and the way they are connected when parameters are varied. In this paper, this typical bifurcation structure of periodically driven strictly dissipative oscillators will be presented and discussed in terms of examples from Duffing’s equation. Furthermore a family of two-dimensional maps is given that models (strictly) dissipative oscillators and shows essential features of the bifurcation pattern found.

Two different bifurcation scenarios of spontaneous neural firing patterns with decreasing extracellular calcium concentrations were observed in the biological experiment on identical pacemakers when potassium concentrations were fixed at two different levels. Six typical experimental scenarios manifesting dynamics closely matching those previously simulated using the Hindmarsh–Rose model and Chay model are provided as representative examples. Bifurcation scenarios from period-1 bursting to period-1 spiking via a complex process and via a simple process, period-doubling bifurcation to chaos, period-adding bifurcation with chaos, and period-adding bifurcation with stochastic burstings were identified. The results not only reveal that an experimental neural pacemaker is capable of generating different bifurcation scenarios but also provide a basic framework for bifurcations in neural firing patterns in a two-dimensional parameter space.

This paper reports on an investigation of the two-dimensional parameter-space of a generalized Nosé–Hoover oscillator. It is a mathematical model of a thermostated harmonic oscillator, which consists of a set of three autonomous first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. By using Lyapunov exponents to numerically characterize the dynamics of the model at each point of this parameter-space, it is shown that dissipative quasiperiodic structures are present, embedded in a chaotic region. The same parameter-space is also used to confirm the multistability phenomenon in the investigated mathematical model.

We study the dissipative Hofstadter model on a triangular lattice, making use of the [Formula: see text] T-dual transformation of string theory. The [Formula: see text] dual transformation transcribes the model in a commutative basis into the model in a noncommutative basis. In the zero-temperature limit, the model exhibits an exact duality, which identifies equivalent points on the two-dimensional parameter space of the model. The exact duality also defines magic circles on the parameter space, where the model can be mapped onto the boundary sine-Gordon on a triangular lattice. The model describes the junction of three quantum wires in a uniform magnetic field background. An explicit expression of the equivalence relation, which identifies the points on the two-dimensional parameter space of the model by the exact duality, is obtained. It may help us to understand the structure of the phase diagram of the model.

The quadratic iteration is mapped within a nondistributive imaginary scator algebra in [Formula: see text] dimensions. The Mandelbrot set is identically reproduced at two perpendicular planes where only the scalar and one of the hypercomplex scator director components are present. However, the bound three-dimensional S set projections change dramatically even for very small departures from zero of the second hypercomplex plane. The S set exhibits a rich fractal-like boundary in three dimensions. Periodic points with period [Formula: see text], are shown to be necessarily surrounded by points that produce a divergent magnitude after [Formula: see text] iterations. The scator set comprises square nilpotent elements that ineluctably belong to the bound set. Points that are square nilpotent on the [Formula: see text]th iteration, have preperiod 1 and period [Formula: see text]. Two-dimensional plots are presented to show some of the main features of the set. A three-dimensional rendering reveals the highly complex structure of its boundary.
