Analytical study of the two first period-doubling bifurcations in a three-dimensional system is reported. The multiple scales method is first applied to construct a higher-order approximation of the periodic orbit following Hopf bifurcation. The stability analysis of this periodic orbit is then performed in terms of Floquet theory to derive the critical parameter values corresponding to the first and second period-doubling bifurcations. By introducing suitable subharmonic components in the first order of the multiple scale analysis the two critical parameter values are obtained simultaneously solving analytically the resulting system of two algebraic equations. Comparisons of analytic predictions to numerical simulations are also provided.

The dynamics and bifurcations of a family of odd, symmetric, bimodal maps, fα are discussed. We show that for a large class of parameter values the dynamics of fα can be described via an identification with a unimodal map uα. In this parameter regime, a periodic orbit of period 2n + 1 of uα corresponds to a periodic orbit of period 4n + 2 for fα. A periodic orbit of period 2n of uα corresponds to a pair of distinct periodic orbits also of period 2n for fα. In a more general setting we describe the genealogy of periodic orbits in the family fα using symbolic dynamics and kneading theory. We identify which periodic orbits of even periods are born in period-doubling bifurcations and which are born in pitchfork bifurcations and provide a method of describing the "ancestors" and "descendants" of these orbits. We also show that certain periodic orbits of odd periods are born in saddle-node bifurcations.

An analytical approach to determine critical parameter values of homoclinic bifurcations in three-dimensional systems is reported. The homoclinic orbit is supposed to be a limit of a unique periodic orbit. Hence, the multiple scales perturbation method is performed to construct an approximation of the periodic solution and its frequency. Then, two simple criteria are used. The first criterion is based on the collision between the periodic and the hyperbolic fixed point involved in the bifurcation. The second uses the infinity condition of the period of the periodic orbit. For illustration a specific system is investigated.

The energy levels of a three-dimensional system are calculated for the rational potentials,[Formula: see text]using the inner-product technique over a wide range of values of the perturbation parameters (λ, g) and for various eigenstates. The numerical results for some special cases agree with those of previous workers where available.

This paper uses the general solution of the linearized initial-value problem for an unbounded, exponentially-stratified, perfectly-conducting Couette flow in the presence of a uniform magnetic field to study the development of localized wave-type perturbations to the basic flow. The two-dimensional problem is shown to be stable for all hydrodynamic Richardson numbers JH, positive and negative, and wave packets in this flow are shown to approach, asymptotically, a level in the fluid (the ‘isolation level’) which is a smooth, continuous, function of JH that is well defined for JH < 0 as well as JH > 0. This system exhibits a rich complement of wave phenomena and a variety of mechanisms for the transport of mean flow kinetic and potential energy, via linear wave processes, between widely-separated regions of fluid; this in addition to the usual mechanisms for the absorption of the initial wave energy itself. The appropriate three-dimensional system is discussed, and the role of nonlinearities on the development of localized disturbances is considered.
