An approach to robust control of the Hopf bifurcation.
Let f: Rn x Rn → Rn be a continuous map such that f(0,λ) = 0 for all λ ∈ Rk. In this article we formulate, in terms of the Euler characteristic of algebraic sets, sufficient conditions for the existence of bifurcation points of the equation f(x,λ) = 0. Moreover we apply these results in bifurcation theory to ordinary differential equations. It is worth to point out that in the last paragraph we show how to verify, by computer, the assumptions of the theorems of this paper.
The paper deals with the bifurcation phenomena of heteroclinic orbits for diffeomorphisms. The existence of a Melnikov-like function for the two-dimensional case is shown. Simple possibilities of the set of heteroclinic points are described for higherdimensional cases.
In this paper we consider a class of perturbation of a Hamiltonian cubic system with 9 finite critical points. Using detection functions, we present explicit formulas for the global and local bifurcations of the flow. We exhibit various patterns of compound eyes of limit cycles. These results are concerned with the weakened Hilbert's 16th problem posed by V. I. Arnold in 1977.
