The analysis of Hopf bifurcations of higher order is possible by use of the return mapping. Explicit estimates of the size of the domain on which the number of limit cycles is controlled are important in many applications of bifurcation theory (for instance in Biology and Physiology).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-10-11T16:03:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "periodic orbits", "limit cycles", "bautins theory", "hopf bifurcations", "higher order" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001math.....10121F" } } }
