On the bifurcation of species

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2008
We propose and analyze a model of evolution of species based upon a general description of phenotypes in terms of a single quantifiable characteristic. In the model, species spontaneously arise as solitary waves whose members almost never mate with those in other species, according to the rules laid down.

Speciation and bifurcations

Biosystems, 1989
The interrelations of physics and biology are discussed. It is shown that Darwin can be considered as one of the founders of the important field of contemporary physics called physics of dissipative structures or synergetics. The theories of gradual and punctual evolution are presented.

To Bifurcate or Not To Bifurcate? That is the (Ambiguous) Question

Arbitration International, 2013
Commentators and practitioners hold different views about ‘bifurcation’, i.e. the procedural technique of splitting the arbitral proceedings in distinct phases with a view of reaching decisions on discrete matters. The discussion mostly focuses on whether bifurcation is a source of efficiency or rather of useless additional costs and delays.

OBSERVABILITY BIFURCATION VERSUS OBSERVING BIFURCATIONS

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2002
Abstract In this paper we highlight the difference between observability bifurcation and observing bifurcation. From this, we deduce that one way to improve transmission by synchronization of chaotic systems may be chaotic transmitter with also observability bifurcation.

Bifurcations and manifolds

1999
Abstract The solutions are real for λ 3 and λ 1, and complex for 3 < λ < 1. The graphs of Re(m1) and Re(m2) against λ are shown in Figure 12.1. Noting the signs of m1 and m2, we can observe that the equilibrium point at the origin is: A bifurcation occurs at the parametric value λ 1 where, as λ increases, the equilibrium ...

Border-collision bifurcations: An explanation for observed bifurcation phenomena [PDF]

open access: possiblePhysical Review E, 1994
Recently physical and computer experiments involving systems describable by continuous maps that are nondifferentiable on some surface in phase space have revealed novel bifurcation phenomena. These phenomena are part of a rich new class of bifurcations which we call border-collision bifurcations.

Bifurcation of Elastic Multilayers

2013
The occurrence of a bifurcation in a multilayer structure during loading sets a limit on its deformability, and therefore represents an important factor in the design of composites. Since bifurcationis strongly influenced by the contact conditions at the interfaces between the layers, the mechanical modeling of these conditions is crucial.

Periodically Perturbed Bifurcation—1. Simple Bifurcation

Studies in Applied Mathematics, 1980
We consider the effect of a periodic perturbation on the bifurcation behavior of a system of differential equations. It is shown that constant solutions are modified into periodic solutions, and that the perturbations leads to the separation of solution branches.
