The purpose of this paper is to classify the different sequences of bifurcation that can occur for small amplitude solutions to the nonlinear Mathieu equation near to the Mathieu regions of instability. We do this by using the Lindstedt-Poincare perturbation method to construct a vector field which interpolates the successive iterations of the Poincare map. These vector fields are then analysed to determine the sequence of bifurcations.

Abstract A numerical method is presented to compute the number of fixed points of Poincare maps in ordinary differential equations including time varying equations. The method’s fundamental is to construct a map whose topological degree equals to the number of fixed points of a Poincare map on a given domain of Poincare section. Consequently, the computation procedure is simply computing the topological degree of the map. The combined use of this method and Newton’s iteration gives the locations of all the fixed points in the domain.

We study dynamical systems that switch between two different vector fields depending on a discrete variable and with a delay. When the delay reaches a problem-dependent critical value, so-called event collisions occur. This paper classifies and analyzes event collisions, a special type of discontinuity-induced bifurcations, for periodic orbits. Our focus is on event collisions of symmetric periodic orbits in systems with full reflection symmetry, a symmetry that is prevalent in applications. We derive an implicit expression for the Poincaré map near the colliding periodic orbit. The Poincaré map is piecewise smooth, finite-dimensional, and changes the dimension of its image at the collision. In the second part of the paper we apply this general result to the class of unstable linear single-degree-of-freedom oscillators where we detect and continue numerically collisions of invariant tori. Moreover, we observe that attracting closed invariant polygons emerge at the torus collision.

In this paper, we show that a simple three-dimensional quadratic vector field can have at least seven small-amplitude limit cycles, bifurcating from a Hopf critical point. This result is surprisingly higher than the Bautin's result for quadratic planar vector fields which can only have three small-amplitude limit cycles bifurcating from an elementary focus or an elementary center. The methods used in this paper include computing focus values, and solving multivariate polynomial systems using modular regular chains. In order to obtain higher-order focus values for nonplanar dynamical systems, computationally efficient approaches combined with center manifold computation must be adopted. A recently developed explicit, recursive formula and Maple program for computing the normal form and center manifold of general n-dimensional systems is applied to compute the focus values of the three-dimensional vector field.

Abstract A numerical algorithm is proposed to compute variation of periodic solutions and their codimension-one bifurcations in discontinuous and hysteretic systems in the relevant control parameter space. For dynamic systems with discontinuities and hysteresis, some components of the associated vector fields are nondifferentiable. Therefore, one cannot resort on classical numerical tools based on the evaluation of the Jacobian of the vector field for path-following analyses. Using the pertinent state space, periodic orbits are sought as the fixed points of a Poincaré map based on an appropriate return time. The Jacobian of the map is computed numerically via either a forward or a central finite-difference scheme and a Newton-Raphson procedure is used to determine the fixed points. The continuation scheme is a pseudo-arclength algorithm based on arclength parameterization. The eigenvalues of the Jacobian of the map — Floquet multipliers — are computed to ascertain the stability of the periodic orbits and the associated bifurcations. The procedure is used to construct frequency-response curves of a bilinear, a Masing-type, and a Bouc-Wen oscillator in the primary and superharmonic frequency ranges for various excitation levels. The proposed numerical strategy proves to be very effective in capturing a rich class of solutions and bifurcations — including jump phenomena, pitchfork (symmetry-breaking), and period-doubling.

AbstractWe introduce a family of pairings between a bounded divergence-measure vector field and a function u of bounded variation, depending on the choice of the pointwise representative of u. We prove that these pairings inherit from the standard one, introduced in [G. Anzellotti, Pairings between measures and bounded functions and compensated compactness, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 135 1983, 293–318], [G.-Q. Chen and H. Frid, Divergence-measure fields and hyperbolic conservation laws, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 147 1999, 2, 89–118], all the main properties and features (e.g. coarea, Leibniz, and Gauss–Green formulas). We also characterize the pairings making the corresponding functionals semicontinuous with respect to the strict convergence in \mathrm{BV}. We remark that the standard pairing in general does not share this property.

Geometric Objects

Motivated by the hindrance of defining metric tensors compatible with the underlying spinor structure, other than the ones obtained via a conformal transformation, we study how some geometric objects are affected by the action of a disformal transformation in the closest scenario possible: the disformal transformation in the direction of a null-like vector field. Subsequently, we analyze symmetry properties such as mutual geodesics and mutual Killing vectors, generalized Weyl transformations that leave the disformal relation invariant, and introduce the concept of disformal Killing vector fields. In most cases, we use the Schwarzschild metric, in the Kerr–Schild formulation, to verify our calculations and results. We also revisit the disformal operator using a Newman–Penrose basis to show that, in the null-like case, this operator is not diagonalizable.

The Stability

This paper is concerned with analyzing Melnikov’s method in terms of the flow generated by a vector field in contrast to the approach based on the Poincare map and giving a physical interpretation of the method. It is shown that the direct implication of a transverse crossing between the stable and unstable manifolds to a saddle point of the Poincare map is the existence of two distinct preserved homoclinic orbits of the continuous time system. The stability of these orbits and their role in the phenomenon of sensitive dependence on initial conditions is discussed and a physical example is given.
