Discrete planar maps such as xn+1=f(xn)+μ g(xn, μ), xn∈ℝ2, n∈ℤ, μ∈ℝ, are studied under the assumption that the unperturbed map xn+1=f(xn) has a critical homoclinic orbit to a hyperbolic fixed point. We give either necessary and sufficient conditions for a bifurcation from zero to two homoclinic orbits as the small parameter μ crosses zero. These conditions are stated in terms of geometrical objects such as critical lines, stable and unstable manifolds.

The objective of this research is to experimentally investigate various mixing regions in a two-dimensional Stokes flow driven by a rectangular or elliptical rotor. Flow occurs in a rectangular cell filled with a very viscous fluid. The Reynolds number based on rotor size is in the order of 0.5. The flow is time-periodic and can be analyzed, both theoretically and experimentally, by considering the Poincare map that maps the position of a fluid particle to its position one period later. The mixing regions of the flow are determined, theoretically, by the fixed points of this map, either hyperbolic or degenerate, and their stable and unstable manifolds. Experimentally, the mixing regions are visualized by releasing a blob of a passive dye at one of these fixed points: as the flow evolves, the blob stretches to form a streak line that lies on the unstable manifold of the fixed point.

In this work a thorough study is presented of the bifurcation structure of an embedding of one-dimensional Allee’s functions into a two-dimensional diffeomorphism. A complete classification of the nature and stability of the fixed points, on the contour lines of the two-dimensional diffeomorphism, is provided. A necessary and sufficient condition so that the Allee fixed point is a snapback repeller is established. Sufficient conditions for the occurrence of homoclinic tangencies of a saddle fixed point of the two-dimensional diffeomorphism are also established, associated to the snapback repeller bifurcation of the endomorphism defined by the Allee functions. The main results concern homoclinic and big bang bifurcations of the diffeomorphism as “germinal” bifurcations of the Allee functions. Our results confirm previous predictions of structures of homoclinic and big bang bifurcation curves in dimension one and extend these studies to “local” concepts of Allee effect and big bang bifurcations to this two-dimensional exponential diffeomorphism.

In this study, bifurcations of an invariant closed curve (ICC) generated from a homoclinic connection of a saddle fixed point are analyzed in a planar map. Such bifurcations are called homoclinic cycle (HCC) bifurcations of the saddle fixed point. We examine the HCC bifurcation structure and the properties of the generated ICC. A planar map that can accurately control the stable and unstable manifolds of the saddle fixed point is designed for this analysis and the results indicate that the HCC bifurcation depends upon a product of two eigenvalues of the saddle fixed point, and the generated ICC is a chaotic attractor with a positive Lyapunov exponent.

We present an algorithm for computing the global two-dimensional unstable manifold of a hyperbolic fixed point or a normally hyperbolic invariant circle of a three-dimensional map. The global stable manifold can be obtained by considering the inverse map. Our algorithm computes intersections of the unstable manifold with a finite number of leaves of a chosen linear foliation. In this way, we obtain a growing piece of the unstable manifold represented by a mesh of prescribed quality. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated with several examples.

The authors consider the two-dimensional difference system$$ \Delta x_n = b_n g (y_n) $$ $$ \Delta y_n = -f(n, x_{n+1}) $$where $ n \in N(n_0) = \{ n_0, n_0+1, \ldots \} $, $ n_0 $ a nonnegative integer; $ \{ b_n \} $ is a real sequence, $ f: N(n_0) \times {\rm R} \to {\rm R} $ is continuous with $ u f(n,u) > 0 $ for all $ u \ne 0 $. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions with a specified asymptotic behavior are given. Also sufficient conditions for all solutions to be oscillatory are obtained if $ f $ is either strongly sublinear or strongly superlinear. Examples of their results are also inserted.

Abstract We discuss some convergence and divergence properties of twodimensional (Nörlund) logarithmic means of two-dimensional Walsh–Fourier series of functions both in the uniform and in the Lebesgue norm. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence regarding the modulus of continuity of the function, and also the function space.

Let f be a rotationally invariant function defined on the set Lin+ of all tensors with positive determinant on a vector space of arbitrary dimension. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the rank 1 convexity of f in terms of its representation through the singular values. For the global rank 1 convexity on Lin+, the result is a generalization of a two-dimensional result of Aubert. Generally, the inequality on contains products of singular values of the type encountered in the definition of polyconvexity, but is weaker. It is also shown that the rank 1 convexity is equivalent to a restricted ordinary convexity when f is expressed in terms of signed invariants of the deformation.

In the architecture of cellular neural networks (CNN), connections among cells are built on linear coupling laws. These laws are characterized by the so-called templates which express the local interaction weights among cells. Recently, the complete stability for CNN has been extended from symmetric connections to cycle-symmetric connections. In this presentation, we investigate a class of two-dimensional space-invariant templates. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the class of templates to have cycle-symmetric connections. Complete stability for CNN with several interesting templates is thus concluded.

Bifurcations of generic 2-2-1 heterodimensional cycles connecting to three saddles, in which two of them have two-dimensional unstable manifolds, are studied by setting up a local moving frame. Under a certain transversal condition, we firstly present the existence, uniqueness and noncoexistence of a 3-point heterodimensional cycle, 2-point heterodimensional or equidimensional cycle, 1-homoclinic cycle and 1-periodic orbit bifurcated from the 3-point heterodimensional cycle, and the bifurcation surfaces and bifurcation regions are located when the u-component [Formula: see text] of the vector [Formula: see text] under the Poincaré mapping [Formula: see text] is nonzero. Conversely, we obtain some sufficient conditions such that the bifurcation of a 2-fold 1-periodic orbit occurs and a 1-periodic orbit coexists with the surviving heterodimensional cycle, showing some new bifurcation behaviors different from the well-known equidimensional cycles.
