Bifurcation of periodic solutions from a ring configuration of discrete nonlinear oscillators (Q1942817)

The article is a continuation of [the authors, J. Differ. Equations 251, No. 11, 3202--3227 (2011; Zbl 1368.70016)]. It gives an analysis of the periodic solutions of a ring of \(n\)-oscillators coupled to their neighbours. Using global Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and irreducible representations of groups, the authors prove bifurcation results and analyze the type of solutions which bifurcate from the relative equilibrium.
