Codimension-2 bifurcations of coupled BVP oscillators with hard characteristics (Q2434833)

The paper concerns the bifurcation analysis of a coupled Bonhoeffer-van der Pol (BVP) oscillator. Standard techniques such as Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion and normal form reduction are applied to detect and describe the system behavior near Hopf, Bogdanov-Takens, double Hopf and fold-Hopf bifurcations. Some of the theoretical predictions are illustrated numerically. A bifurcation analysis of a similar coupled BVP oscillator can be found in [\textit{T. Ueta} et al., Int. J. Bifurcation Chaos Appl. Sci. Eng. 14, No. 4, 1305--1324 (2004; Zbl 1086.37530)].
