Spectral sequences and parametric normal forms (Q652465)

The method of spectral sequences is suitably generalized to consider the infinite level normal forms of parametric vector fields: \[ \dot x=\nu(x,\mu), \] where \(\nu\) represents a formal vector field, \(x=(x_1,x_2,\dots ,x_p)\in\mathbb R^p\), \(\mu=(\mu_1,\mu_2,\dots ,\mu_q)\in\mathbb R^q\), \(\nu(0,\mu)=0\), \(x\) is the state variable, \(\mu\) is a parameter. The method is applied to two simple examples (parametric single zero and parametric resonant saddle singularities) and to parametric generalized Hopf singularity. For these cases under some technical conditions the simplest parametric normal form is provided. The obtained results can also be considered as a generalization of the spectral sequences of orbital normal forms of non-parametric systems.
