This paper investigates periodic bifurcation solutions of a mechanical system which involves a van der Pol type damping and a hysteretic damper representing restoring force. This system has recently been studied based on the singularity theory for bifurcations of smooth functions. However, the results do not actually take into account the property of nonsmoothness involved in the system. In particular, the transition varieties due to constraint boundaries were ignored, resulting in failure in finding some important bifurcation solutions. To reveal all possible bifurcation patterns for such systems, a new method is developed in this paper. With this method, a continuous, piecewise smooth bifurcation problem can be transformed into several subbifurcation problems with either single-sided or double-sided constraints. Further, the constrained bifurcation problems are converted to unconstrained problems and then singularity theory is employed to find transition varieties. Explicit formulas are applied to reconsider the mechanical system. Numerical simulations are carried out to verify analytical predictions. Moreover, symbolic notation for a sequence of bifurcations is introduced to easily show the characteristics of bifurcations, and also the comparison of different bifurcations. The method developed in this paper can be easily extended to study bifurcation problems with other types of nonsmoothness.

Bifurcation Problems

In this paper, the authors study the bifurcation problems of the composite laminated piezoelectric rectangular plate structure with three bifurcation parameters by singularity theory in the case of 1:2 internal resonance. The sign function is employed to the universal unfolding of bifurcation equations in this system. The proposed approach can ensure the nondegenerate conditions of the universal unfolding of bifurcation equations in this system to be satisfied. The study presents that the proposed system with three bifurcation parameters is a high codimensional bifurcation problem with codimension 4, and 6 forms of universal unfolding are given. Numerical results show that the whole parametric plane can be divided into several persistent regions by the transition set, and the bifurcation diagrams in different persistent regions are obtained.

Abstract The stochastic P-bifurcation behavior of a bistable Van der Pol system with fractional time-delay feedback under Gaussian white noise excitation is studied. Firstly, based on the minimal mean square error principle, the fractional derivative term is found to be equivalent to the linear combination of damping force and restoring force, and the original system is further simplified to an equivalent integer order system. Secondly, the stationary Probability Density Function (PDF) of system amplitude is obtained by stochastic averaging, and the critical parametric conditions for stochastic P-bifurcation of system amplitude are determined according to the singularity theory. Finally, the types of stationary PDF curves of system amplitude are qualitatively analyzed by choosing the corresponding parameters in each area divided by the transition set curves. The consistency between the analytical solutions and Monte Carlo simulation results verifies the theoretical analysis in this paper.

In this paper, bifurcations of a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom system subjected to a narrow-band stochastic excitation are investigated. Under the assumption that the correlation time greatly exceeds the relaxation time, a quasi-static approach combined with averaging method is adopted to obtain the bifurcation equations, and the singularity theory is applied to analyze the bifurcations. It is demonstrated that bifurcation patterns jump from one to another due to the influence of a random parameter. The probabilities of the jumping bifurcation patterns are given.

We present a short history of the Ermakov equation with an emphasis on its discovery by thewest and the subsequent boost to research into invariants for nonlinear systems although recognizing some of the significant developments in the east. We present the modern context of the Ermakov equation in the algebraic and singularity theory of ordinary differential equations and applications to more divers fields. The reader is referred to the previous article (Appl. Anal. Discrete math., 2 (2008), 123-145) for an english translation of Ermakov's original paper.

Fine Focus

We study the Hopf bifurcation for a class of three-dimensional cubic Kolmogorov model by making use of our method (i.e. singular values method). We show that the positive singular point (1, 1, 1) of an investigated model can become a fine focus of 5 order, and moreover, it can bifurcate five small limit cycles under certain coefficients with disturbed condition. In terms of three-dimensional cubic Kolmogorov model, published references can hardly be seen, and our results are new. At the same time, it is worth pointing out that our method is valid to study the Hopf bifurcation problem for other three-dimensional polynomial differential systems.

The bifurcation problem is one of the most important subjects in dynamical systems. Motivated by M. Li et al. who used compound matrices to judge the stability of matrices and the existence of Hopf bifurcations in continuous dynamical systems, we obtained some effective methods to judge the Schur stability of matrices on the base of the spectral property of compound matrices, which can be used to judge the asymptotical stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcations of discrete dynamical systems.
