Orbites Hétérocliniques au Voisinage d'une Bifurcation de Poincaré Dégénérée pour les Champs de Vecteurs de ...
This work contributes to classify the dynamic behaviors of piecewise smooth systems in which border collision bifurcations characterize the qualitative changes in the dynamics. A central point of our investigation is the intersection of two border collision bifurcation curves in a parameter plane. This problem is also associated with the continuity breaking in a fixed point of a piecewise smooth map. We will relax the hypothesis needed in [4] where...
We implement a singularity theory approach, the path formulation, to classify -equivariant bifurcation problems of corank 2, with one or two distinguished parameters, and their perturbations. The bifurcation diagrams are identified with sections over paths in the parameter space of a -miniversal unfolding of their cores. Equivalence between paths is given by diffeomorphisms liftable over the projection from the zero-set of onto its unfolding parameter space. We apply our results to degenerate...
We present a three species model describing the degradation of substrate by two competing populations of microorganisms in a marine sediment. Considering diffusion to be the main transport process, we obtain a reaction diffusion system (RDS) which we study in terms of spontaneous pattern formation. We find that the conditions for patterns to evolve are likely to be fulfilled in the sediment. Additionally, we present simulations that are consistent with experimental data from the literature. We...
Two theorems about period doubling bifurcations are proved. A special case, where one multiplier of the homogeneous solution is equal to +1 is discussed in the Appendix.
