Abstract: Classical conditions for asymptotic stability of periodic solutions bifurcating from a limit cycle rely on the derivative of the corresponding bifurcation function F at the bifurcation point t. We show that for analytic systems this result is the one of topological nature, namely the topological index ind(t,F) is conclusive versus the sign of the derivative (d/dt)F(t). This allows to detect asymptotic stability also in the case when (d/dt)F(t)=0.


The authors consider a bifurcation problem for periodic solutions of analytic systems of ODEs. In this setting, they prove that, if the associated bifurcation function has a zero, where it changes sign, this point gives rise to bifurcating orbits which are either asymptotically stable, or unstable, depending on the change of sign. The novelty lies in the fact that no assumption is needed on the derivatives of the bifurcating function.
