Bifurcation Analysis of Nonlinear Oscillations in the Electrical Activity of Pancreatic β‐Cells
ABSTRACT Cell biological systems are characterized by complex relationships and nonlinear processes. The modeling of these processes improves the understanding, and represents a significant enrichment of the experimental investigation. An example of such a system is the regulation of blood glucose concentration by pancreatic β$\beta$‐cells through the ...

Revealing asymmetric homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits
Although scholars have proven the existence of a pair of homoclinic orbits to the origin, or a pair of heteroclinic orbits to the origin along with a pair of nontrivial equilibria in symmetric Lorenz, Chen, and Lü systems, they have rarely dealt with ...

Index theory for heteroclinic orbits of Hamiltonian systems
Index theory revealed its outstanding role in the study of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems and the dynamical consequences of this theory are enormous.

Sustained resonance: a binary system perturbed by gravitational radiation [PDF]
The general phenomena associated with sustained resonance are studied in this paper in connection with relativistic binary pulsars. We represent such a system by two point masses in a Keplerian binary system that evolves via gravitational radiation ...

Abstract Critical transitions and tipping phenomena between two meta‐stable states in stochastic dynamical systems are a scientific issue. In this work, we expand the methodology of identifying the most probable transition pathway between two meta‐stable states with Onsager–Machlup action functional, to investigate the evolutionary transition dynamics ...

Dynamics of surface diffeomorphisms relative to homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits [PDF]
The Nielsen-Thurston theory of surface diffeomorphisms shows that useful dynamical information can be obtained about a surface diffeomorphism from a finite collection of periodic orbits.In this paper, we extend these results to homoclinic and ...

Frequency spanning homoclinic families
A family of maps or flows depending on a parameter $\nu$ which varies in an interval, spans a certain property if along the interval this property depends continuously on the parameter and achieves some asymptotic values along it. We consider families of

The scar mechanism revisited [PDF]
Unstable periodic orbits are known to originate scars on some eigenfunctions of classically chaotic systems through recurrences causing that some part of an initial distribution of quantum probability in its vicinity returns periodically close to the ...

Closed geodesics and the first Betti number
Abstract We prove that, on any closed manifold of dimension at least two with non‐zero first Betti number, a C∞$C^\infty$ generic Riemannian metric has infinitely many closed geodesics, and indeed closed geodesics of arbitrarily large length. We derive this existence result combining a theorem of Mañé together with the following new theorem of ...

Imperfect Homoclinic Bifurcations
Experimental observations of an almost symmetric electronic circuit show complicated sequences of bifurcations. These results are discussed in the light of a theory of imperfect global bifurcations.
