We classify the local bifurcations of quasi-periodic [Formula: see text]-dimensional tori in maps (abbr. MT[Formula: see text]) and in flows (abbr. FT[Formula: see text]) for [Formula: see text]. It is convenient to classify these bifurcations into normal bifurcations and resonance bifurcations. Normal bifurcations of MT[Formula: see text] can be classified into four classes: namely, saddle-node, period doubling, double covering, and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations. Furthermore, normal bifurcations of FT[Formula: see text] can be classified into three classes: saddle-node, double covering, and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations. These bifurcations are determined by the type of the dominant Lyapunov bundle. Resonance bifurcations are well known as phase locking of quasi-periodic solutions. These bifurcations are classified into two classes for both MT[Formula: see text] and FT[Formula: see text]: namely, saddle-node cycle and heteroclinic cycle bifurcations of the [Formula: see text]-dimensional tori. The former is reversible, while the latter is irreversible. In addition, we propose a method for analyzing higher-dimensional tori, which uses one-dimensional tori in sections (abbr. ST[Formula: see text]) and zero-dimensional tori in sections (abbr. ST[Formula: see text]). The bifurcations of ST[Formula: see text] can be classified into five classes: saddle-node, period doubling, component doubling, double covering, and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations. The bifurcations of ST[Formula: see text] can be classified into four classes: saddle-node, period doubling, component doubling, and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations. Furthermore, we clarify the relationship between the bifurcations of ST[Formula: see text]/ST[Formula: see text] and the bifurcations of MT[Formula: see text]/FT[Formula: see text]. We present examples of all of these bifurcations.

AbstractLotka-Volterra systems have been used extensively in modelling population dynamics. In this paper, it is shown that chaotic behaviour in the sense of Smale can exist in timeperiodically perturbed systems of Lotka-Volterra equations. First, a slowly varying threedimensional perturbed Lotka-Volterra system is considered and the corresponding unperturbed system is shown to possess a heteroclinic cycle. By using Melnikov's method, sufficient conditions are obtained for the perturbed system to have a transverse heteroclinic cycle and hence to possess chaotic behaviour in the sense of Smale. Then a special case involving a reduction to a two-dimensional Lotka-Volterra system is examined, leading finally to an application with a model for the self-organisation of macromolecules.

This paper reports numerical experiments done on a two-parameter family of vector fields which unfold an attracting heteroclinic cycle linking two saddle-foci. We investigated both local and global bifurcations due to symmetry breaking in order to detect either hyperbolic or chaotic dynamics. Although a complete understanding of the corresponding bifurcation diagram and the mechanisms underlying the dynamical changes is still out of reach, using a combination of theoretical tools and computer simulations we have uncovered some complex patterns. We have selected suitable initial conditions to analyze the bifurcation diagrams, and regarding these solutions we have located: (a) an open domain of parameters with regular dynamics; (b) infinitely many parabolic-type curves associated to homoclinic Shilnikov cycles which act as organizing centers; (c) a crisis region related to the destruction or creation of chaotic attractors; (d) a large Lebesgue measure set of parameters where chaotic regimes are dominant, though sinks and chaotic attractors may coexist, and in whose complement we observe shrimps.

Convection rolls in a rotating layer can become unstable to the Küppers–Lortz instability. When the horizontal boundaries are stress free and the Prandtl number is finite, this instability diverges in the limit where the perturbation rolls make a small angle with the original rolls. This divergence is resolved by taking full account of the resonant mode interactions that occur in this limit: it is necessary to include two roll modes and a large-scale mean flow in the perturbation. It is found that rolls of critical wavelength whose amplitude is of order ε are always unstable to rolls oriented at an angle of order ε2/5. However, these rolls are unstable to perturbations at an infinitesimal angle if the Taylor number is greater than 4π4. Unlike the Küppers–Lortz instability, this new instability at infinitesimal angles does not depend on the direction of rotation; it is driven by the flow along the axes of the rolls. It is this instability that dominates in the limit of rapid rotation. Numerical simulations confirm the analytical results and indicate that the instability is subcritical, leading to an attracting heteroclinic cycle. We show that the small-angle instability grows more rapidly than the skew-varicose instability.

It is shown that the dynamical game theoretic mating behaviour of males and females can be modelled by a planar system of autonomous ordinary differential equations. This system occurs in modelling “the battle of the sexes” in evolutionary biology. The existence of a heteroclinic cycle and a continuous family of periodic orbits of the system is established; then the dynamical characteristics of a time-periodic perturbation of the system are investigated. By using the well-known Melnikov's method, a sufficient condition is obtained for the perturbed system to have a transverse heteroclinic cycle and hence to possess chaotic behaviour in the sense of Smale. Finally, subharmonic Melnikov theory is used to obtain a criterion for the existence of subharmonic periodic orbits of the perturbed system.
