Summary on Grant Application Form
Bifurcation theory studies qualitative changes in behavior of Dynamical Systems. It's aim is to detect and classify different types of these changes, which are often called bifurcations. There is a remarkable similarity between bifurcations of an equilibrium on a plane and bifurcations of periodic orbits in the three dimensional space. The difference between these bifurcations is difficult to detect, and it is due to very small zones of homoclinic chaos. In applications these zones may be responsible for existence or non-existence of solutions for equations of mathematical physics, which may describe, for example, some types of waves on water surface. The aim of the project is to understand creation of homoclinic zones, which appear near bifurcations in two-parametric analytic families of maps. The project will be carried out by the investigator and a postdoctoral research assistant at the Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick. The work on the project includes development of new asymptotic methods and conducting numerical experiments to validate results on carefully chosen test problems.
