This paper presents the application of a newly developed computational toolbox, TC-HAT (TCˆ), for bifurcation analysis of systems in which continuous-in-time dynamics are interrupted by discrete-in-time events, here referred to as hybrid dynamical systems. In particular, new results pertaining to the dynamic behavior of an example hybrid dynamical system, an impact microactuator, are obtained using this software program. Here, periodic trajectories of the actuator with single or multiple impacts per period and associated saddle-node, perioddoubling, and grazing bifurcation curves are documented. The analysis confirms previous analytical results regarding the presence of co-dimension-two grazing bifurcation points from which saddle-node and period-doubling bifurcation curves emanate.

This paper presents an extended formulation of the basic continuation problem for implicitly defined, embedded manifolds in Rn. The formulation is chosen so as to allow for the arbitrary imposition of additional constraints during continuation and the restriction to selective parametrizations of the corresponding higher-codimension solution manifolds. In particular, the formalism is demonstrated to clearly separate between the essential functionality required of core routines in application-oriented continuation packages, on the one hand, and the functionality provided by auxiliary toolboxes that encode classes of continuation problems and user definitions that narrowly focus on a particular problem implementation, on the other hand. Several examples are chosen to illustrate the formalism and its implementation in the recently developed continuation core package COCO and auxiliary toolboxes, including the continuation of families of periodic orbits in a hybrid dynamical system with impacts and friction as well as the detection and constrained continuation of selected degeneracies characteristic of such systems, such as grazing and switching-sliding bifurcations.

We present a robust method to locate and continue period-doubling, saddle-node and symmetry-breaking bifurcations of periodically driven experimental systems. The method is illustrated from results obtained for an electronic implementation of a Duffing oscillator.

Abstract This is a study of a dynamical system depending on a parameter . Under the assumption that the system has a family of equilibrium positions or periodic trajectories smoothly depending on , the focus is on details of stability loss through various bifurcations (Poincaré–Andronov– Hopf, period-doubling, and so on). Two basic formulations of the problem are considered. In the first, is constant and the subject of the analysis is the phenomenon of a soft or hard loss of stability. In the second, varies slowly with time (the case of a dynamic bifurcation). In the simplest situation , where is a small parameter. More generally, may be a solution of a slow differential equation. In the case of a dynamic bifurcation the analysis is mainly focused around the phenomenon of stability loss delay. Bibliography: 88 titles.

We studied a hybrid dynamical system composed of a higher module with discrete dynamics and a lower module with continuous dynamics. Two typical examples of this system were investigated from the viewpoint of dynamical systems. One example is a nonfeedback system whose higher module stochastically switches inputs to the lower module. The dynamics was characterized by attractive and invariant fractal sets with hierarchical clusters addressed by input sequences. The other example is a feedback system whose higher module switches in response to the states of the lower module at regular intervals. This system converged into various switching attractors that correspond to infinite switching manifolds, which define each feedback control rule at the switching point. We showed that the switching attractors in the feedback system are subsets of the fractal sets in the nonfeedback system. The feedback system can be considered an automaton that generates various sequences from the fractal set by choosing the typical switching manifold. We can control this system by adjusting the switching interval to determine the fractal set as a constraint and by adjusting the switching manifold to select the automaton from the fractal set. This mechanism might be the key to developing information processing that is neither too soft nor too rigid.

The bifurcations and chaos in a system of two coupled sigmoidal neurons with periodic input are revisited. The system has no self-coupling and no inherent limit cycles in contrast to the previous studies and shows simple bifurcations qualitatively different from the previous results. A symmetric periodic solution generated by the periodic input underdoes a pitchfork bifurcation so that a pair of asymmetric periodic solutions is generated. A chaotic attractor is generated through a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations of the asymmetric periodic solutions. However, a symmetric periodic solution repeats saddle-node bifurcations many times and the bifurcations of periodic solutions become complicated as the output gain of neurons is increasing. Then, the analysis of border collision bifurcations is carried out by using a piecewise constant output function of neurons and a rectangular wave as periodic input. The saddle-node, the pitchfork and the period-doubling bifurcations in the coupled sigmoidal neurons are replaced by various kinds of border collision bifurcations in the coupled piecewise constant neurons. Qualitatively the same structure of the bifurcations of periodic solutions in the coupled sigmoidal neurons is derived analytically. Further, it is shown that another period-doubling route to chaos exists when the output function of neurons is asymmetric.

We consider an epidemic-species hybrid dynamical system. The disease is spread among the prey only and the infected prey can reproduce virus. The predator only eats the infected prey. Mathematical analyses are given for the system with regard to the existence of equilibria, local stability, Hopf bifurcation, and the orbital stability of the Hopf bifurcating limit cycle. We further analyse the system under impulsive releasing of virus and predator.

Multiple interactions (e.g., mutualist-resource-competitor-exploiter interactions) type models are known to exhibit oscillatory behaviour as a result of their complexity. This large-amplitude oscillation often de-stabilises multispecies communities and increases the chances of species extinction. What mechanisms help species in a complex ecological system to persist? Some studies show that dispersal can stabilise an ecological community and permit multi-species coexistence. However, previous empirical and theoretical studies often focused on one- or two-species systems, and in real life, we have more than two-species coexisting together in nature. Here, we employ a (four-species) multiple interactions type model to investigate how competition interacts with other biotic factors and dispersal to shape multi-species communities. Our results reveal that dispersal has (de-)stabilising effects on the formation of multi-species communities, and this phenomenon shapes coexistence mechanisms of interacting species. These contrasting effects of dispersal can best be illustrated through its combined influences with the competition. To do this, we employ numerical simulation and bifurcation analysis techniques to track the stable and unstable attractors of the system. Results show the presence of Hopf bifurcations, transcritical bifurcations, period-doubling bifurcations and limit point bifurcations of cycles as we vary the competitive strength in the system. Furthermore, our bifurcation analysis findings show that stable coexistence of multiple species is possible for some threshold values of ecologically-relevant parameters in this complex system. Overall, we discover that the stability and coexistence mechanisms of multiple species depend greatly on the interplay between competition, other biotic components and dispersal in multi-species ecological systems.
