A Diagrammatic Representation of Phase Portraits and Bifurcation Diagrams of Two-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

We treat the problem of characterizing in a systematic way the qualitative features of two-dimensional dynamical systems. To that end, we construct a representation of the topological features of phase portraits by means of diagrams that discard their quantitative information. All codimension 1 bifu...

Sumario:We treat the problem of characterizing in a systematic way the qualitative features of two-dimensional dynamical systems. To that end, we construct a representation of the topological features of phase portraits by means of diagrams that discard their quantitative information. All codimension 1 bifurcations are naturally embodied in the possible ways of transitioning smoothly between diagrams. We introduce a representation of bifurcation curves in parameter space that guides the proposition of bifurcation diagrams compatible with partial information about the system. © 2017 World Scientific Publishing Company.
