Bifurcation theory and the harmonic content of oscillations
Revista de la Unión …, 2006
The harmonic content of periodic solutions in ODEs is obtained using standard techniques of harmonic balance and the fast Fourier transform (FFT). For the first method, the harmonic content is attained in the vicinity of the Hopf bifurcation condition where a smooth branch of oscillations is born under the variation of a distinguished parameter. The second technique is applied directly to numerical simulation, which is assumed to be the correct solution. Although the first method is local, it provides an excellent tool to characterize the periodic behavior in the unfoldings of other more complex singularities, such as the double Hopf bifurcation (DHB). An example with a DHB is analyzed with this methodology and the FFT algorithm.

Bifurcation theory is the mathematical investigation of changes in the qualitative or topological structure of a studied family. In this paper, we numerically investigate the qualitative behavior of nonlinear RLC circuit excited by sinusoidal voltage source based on the bifurcation analysis. Poincare mapping and bifurcation methods are applied to study both dynamics and qualitative properties of the periodic responses of such oscillator. As numerically illustrated here, a small variation of amplitude or frequency of the driver sinusoidal voltage may involve qualitative changes for witch the system exhibits fold, period doubling and pitchfork bifurcations. In fact, the presence of these kinds of bifurcation necessitates an examination of the role of these singularities in the dynamical behavior of circuit. Particularly, we numerically study the qualitative changes may affect number and stability of the periodic solutions and the shapes of its basins of attraction associated while app...
Global bifurcations of a periodically forced biological oscillator
Physical Review A, 1984
A single brief current pulse delivered to a spontaneously beating aggregate of cardiac cells from embryonic chick heart will reset the rhythm of the aggregate. The resetting depends on both the magnitude of the stimulus and the phase in the cycle at which the stimulus is delivered. Experimental data on resetting are fitted to an analytic function. This function, in turn, is used to construct a first return or Poincare map which can be iterated to predict the effects of periodic pulsatile stimulation for any particular combination of frequency and amplitude of the stimulation. As the stimulation strength is increased the Poincare map changes from a monotonic circle map of degree 1 to a nonmonotonic circle map of degree 1. The bifurcations in the frequency-amplitude parameter space are determined numerically by iterating the Poincare map, and are compared with bifurcations in a simple model map and with those experimentally observed. These systems display period-doubling, intermittent, and quasiperiodic dynamics. Universal features of the bifurcations in the frequencyamplitude parameter space are described.
Complex bifurcations in the oscillatory reaction model
The mixing of different types of bifurcations, i.e. supercritical Andronov-Hopf (SAH), double loop (DL) and saddle-loop (SL) bifurcations in the vicinity of their total annihilation, is examined on the highly nonlinear six-variable model for the Bray-Liebhafsky (BL) oscillatory reaction under continuously well-stirred tank reactor (CSTR) conditions. For this kind of the reaction system where the law of mass conservation is additional constraint that must be satisfied and where because of that, some simple bifurcations cannot be formed independently to the others, the considered transformations of the bifurcations are particularly important. That is why as the control parameters for bifurcation analysis, the specific flow rate (j 0 ), as well as the inflow hydrogen peroxide concentration (h = [H 2 O 2 ] in ), were used. The complex bifurcations obtained from numerical simulations are compared with some experimental results. It was shown that these complex bifurcations cannot be easily recognized in experimental investigations without knowing their evolution.
Multiple Buckling and Codimension-Three Bifurcation Phenomena of a Nonlinear Oscillator
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2014
In this paper, we investigate the global bifurcations and multiple bucklings of a nonlinear oscillator with a pair of strong irrational nonlinear restoring forces, proposed recently by Han et al. [2012]. The equilibrium stabilities of multiple snap-through buckling system under static loading are analyzed. It is found that complex bifurcations are exhibited of codimension-three with two parameters at the catastrophe point. The universal unfolding for the codimension-three bifurcation is also found to be equivalent to a nonlinear viscous damped system. The bifurcation diagrams and the corresponding codimension-three behaviors are obtained by employing subharmonic Melnikov functions for the existing singular closed orbits of homoclinic, tangent homoclinic, homo-heteroclinic and cuspidal heteroclinic, respectively.
