Small amplitude periodic orbits in three-dimensional quadratic vector fields with a zero-Hopf singularity

From MaRDI portal





The paper deals with some families of real three-dimensional differential systems \N\[\N\frac{dx}{dt} = - y + F_1(x, y, z, \lambda), \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = x + F_2(x, y, z, \lambda), \quad \frac{dz}{dt} = F_3(x, y, z, \lambda)\N\]\Nwith quadratic homogeneous polynomials \(F_j\) in the variables \((x, y, z)\) and having a zero-Hopf equilibrium at the origin. The author considers only families having the \(z\)-axis as rotation axis and he is interested in the bifurcation of periodic \(v\)-orbits from the singularity, that is, those small amplitude orbits that make a fixed arbitrary number \(v\) of revolutions about a rotation axis and then return to the initial point closing the orbit. When the parameters of the family are restricted to certain explicitly computable open semi-algebraic sets \(\Lambda\), he characterizes those parameters that provide the appearance of local two-dimensional periodic invariant manifolds through the singularity. Also the author uses a Bautin-type analysis to study the maximum number of small-amplitude \(v\)-limit cycles that can bifurcate from the equilibrium when the parameters of the family are restricted to \(\Lambda\). Global upper bounds on the number of bifurcated \(v\)-limit cycles are presented.
