Lectures on Bifurcations, Dynamics and Symmetry
Author: Michael Field
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780582303461
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
This book is an expanded version of a Master Class on the symmetric bifurcation theory of differential equations given by the author at the University of Twente in 1995. The notes cover a wide range of recent results in the subject, and focus on the dynamics that can appear in the generic bifurcation theory of symmetric differential equations. Many of the results and examples in the book are new and have not been previously published. The first four chapters contain an accessible presentation of the fundamental work by Field and Richardson on symmetry breaking and the Maximal Isotropy Subgroup Conjecture. The remainder of the book focuses on recent research of the author and includes chapters on the invariant sphere theorem, coupled cell systems, heteroclinic cycles , equivariant transversality, and an Appendix (with Xiaolin Peng) giving a new low dimensional counterexample to the converse of the Maximal Isotropy Subgroup Conjecture. The chapter on coupled cell systems includes a weath of new examples of 'cycling chaos'. The chapter on equivariant transversality is introductory and centres on an extended discussion of an explicit system of four coupled nonlinear oscillators. The style and format of the original lectures has largely been maintained and the notes include over seventy exercises *with hints for solutions and suggestions kfor further reading). In general terms, the notes are directed at mathematicians and aplied scientists working in the field of bifurcation theory who wish to learn about some of the latest developments and techniques in equivariant bifurcation theory. The notes are relatively self-contained and are structured so that they can form the basis for a graduate level course in equivariant bifurcation theory.

Dynamics and Symmetry
Author: Mike Field
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 1860948286
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
This book contains the first systematic exposition of the global and local theory of dynamics equivariant with respect to a (compact) Lie group. Aside from general genericity and normal form theorems on equivariant bifurcation, it describes many general families of examples of equivariant bifurcation and includes a number of novel geometric techniques, in particular, equivariant transversality. This important book forms a theoretical basis of future work on equivariant reversible and Hamiltonian systems.This book also provides a general and comprehensive introduction to codimension one equivariant bifurcation theory. In particular, it includes the bifurcation theory developed with Roger Richardson on subgroups of reflection groups and the Maximal Isotropy Subgroup Conjecture. A number of general results are also given on the global theory. Introductory material on groups, representations and G-manifolds are covered in the first three chapters of the book. In addition, a self-contained introduction of equivariant transversality is given, including necessary results on stratifications as well as results on equivariant jet transversality developed by Edward Bierstone.

Global Bifurcation of Periodic Solutions with Symmetry
Author: Bernold Fiedler
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540391509
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
This largely self-contained research monograph addresses the following type of questions. Suppose one encounters a continuous time dynamical system with some built-in symmetry. Should one expect periodic motions which somehow reflect this symmetry? And how would periodicity harmonize with symmetry? Probing into these questions leads from dynamics to topology, algebra, singularity theory, and to many applications. Within a global approach, the emphasis is on periodic motions far from equilibrium. Mathematical methods include bifurcation theory, transversality theory, and generic approximations. A new homotopy invariant is designed to study the global interdependence of symmetric periodic motions. Besides mathematical techniques, the book contains 5 largely nontechnical chapters. The first three outline the main questions, results and methods. A detailed discussion pursues theoretical consequences and open problems. Results are illustrated by a variety of applications including coupled oscillators and rotating waves: these links to such disciplines as theoretical biology, chemistry, fluid dynamics, physics and their engineering counterparts make the book directly accessible to a wider audience.

Methods In Equivariant Bifurcations And Dynamical Systems
Author: Pascal Chossat
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813105445
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
This invaluable book presents a comprehensive introduction to bifurcation theory in the presence of symmetry, an applied mathematical topic which has developed considerably over the past twenty years and has been very successful in analysing and predicting pattern formation and other critical phenomena in most areas of science where nonlinear models are involved, like fluid flow instabilities, chemical waves, elasticity and population dynamics.The book has two aims. One is to expound the mathematical methods of equivariant bifurcation theory. Beyond the classical bifurcation tools, such as center manifold and normal form reductions, the presence of symmetry requires the introduction of the algebraic and geometric formalism of Lie group theory and transformation group methods. For the first time, all these methods in equivariant bifurcations are presented in a coherent and self-consistent way in a book.The other aim is to present the most recent ideas and results in this theory, in relation to applications. This includes bifurcations of relative equilibria and relative periodic orbits for compact and noncompact group actions, heteroclinic cycles and forced symmetry-breaking perturbations. Although not all recent contributions could be included and a choice had to be made, a rather complete description of these new developments is provided. At the end of every chapter, exercises are offered to the reader.

ISBN: 1461469929
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
This book provides a crash course on various methods from the bifurcation theory of Functional Differential Equations (FDEs). FDEs arise very naturally in economics, life sciences and engineering and the study of FDEs has been a major source of inspiration for advancement in nonlinear analysis and infinite dimensional dynamical systems. The book summarizes some practical and general approaches and frameworks for the investigation of bifurcation phenomena of FDEs depending on parameters with chap. This well illustrated book aims to be self contained so the readers will find in this book all relevant materials in bifurcation, dynamical systems with symmetry, functional differential equations, normal forms and center manifold reduction. This material was used in graduate courses on functional differential equations at Hunan University (China) and York University (Canada).

Dynamics and Bifurcation in Networks
Author: Martin Golubitsky
Publisher: SIAM
ISBN: 1611977339
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 867
Book Description
In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in network-based modeling in many branches of science. This book synthesizes some of the common features of many such models, providing a general framework analogous to the modern theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. How networks lead to behavior not typical in a general dynamical system and how the architecture and symmetry of the network influence this behavior are the book’s main themes. Dynamics and Bifurcation in Networks: Theory and Applications of Coupled Differential Equations is the first book to describe the formalism for network dynamics developed over the past 20 years. In it, the authors introduce a definition of a network and the associated class of “admissible” ordinary differential equations, in terms of a directed graph whose nodes represent component dynamical systems and whose arrows represent couplings between these systems. They also develop connections between network architecture and the typical dynamics and bifurcations of these equations and discuss applications of this formalism to various areas of science, including gene regulatory networks, animal locomotion, decision-making, homeostasis, binocular rivalry, and visual illusions. This book will be of interest to scientific researchers in any area that uses network models, which includes many parts of biology, physics, chemistry, computer science, electrical and electronic engineering, psychology, and sociology.
