This indicates the existence of a fixed point in the underlying system of ordinary differential equations. The next simplest possibility is an asymptotically periodic motion. Never-ending oscillations have not been rigorously established so far, although oscillations have been recently numerically detected in a few systems. For a class of addition-shattering processes, we provide convincing numerical evidence for never-ending oscillations in a certain region $\\mathcal{U}$ of the parameter space. The processes which we investigate admit a fixed point that becomes unstable when parameters belong to $\\mathcal{U}$ and never-ending oscillations effectively emerge through a Hopf bifurcation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-12-16T14:56:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65L12", "65L15", "G.1.7", "G.1.3", "I.6.6" ], "keywords": [ "hopf bifurcation", "addition-shattering kinetics", "never-ending oscillations", "ordinary differential equations", "long time limit" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
