We conducted a study on the plane quadratic polynomial differential systems with two or three parameters. Bifurcation curves were drawn in the cross-section of parameter space, dividing the section into several regions. Different number of limit cycles can be identified in different regions....

In this paper we study the dynamics of a system of two linearly coupled, parametrically driven pendulums, subject to viscous dissipation. It is a continuation of the previous paper (E.J. Banning and J.P. van der Weele (1995)), in which we treated the Hamiltonian case. The damping has several...

Bistable system is a typical model in stochastic resonance (SR) researching. And it has been known that the deterministic dynamics of a noised system plays an important role in making SR phenomena occur. By embedding a non-autonomous system onto a cylinder, or extending the one-dimensional...

We examine the transition between discrete and ultradiscrete (cellular-automaton-like) systems, the dynamics of which exhibit limit cycles. Motivated by results obtained previously for three-dimensional systems, we consider here a more manageable two-dimensional model. We show that one can...

We present a simple reaction-diffusion model for two variables. The model was originally designed to have a stable localized solution for a range of parameters as a consequence of the coexistence of a stable limit cycle and a stable fixed point. We classify the spatially homogeneous solutions of...
