A double Hopf bifurcation phenomenon

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1083239





A degenerate dynamic bifurcation phenomenon exhibited by autonomous systems is analyzed in detail. The situation arises when a key coefficient vanishes at a critical point where Hopf's transversality condition is also violated simultaneously. It is demonstrated analytically that, unlike the phenomenon of Hopf bifurcation, in this case the existence of bifurcating family of limit cycles cannot be guaranteed. Indeed, an existence condition emerges as an integral part of the analysis. Under this existence condition, several topologically distinct phenomena may arise, and the conditions giving rise to such cases are discussed, the asymptotic equations of the bifurcating paths, the family of limit cycles and frequency-amplitude relationships are given in general, explicit forms which can be used in the analyses of specific problems directly.
