(1) The document provides exercises on Hopf bifurcation analysis for various nonlinear systems of differential equations. The first exercise asks to show that the Rayleigh equation undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at μ=0, determine stability of bifurcating branches, and sketch the bifurcation diagram and phase portraits for μ<0 and μ>0.
(2) The second exercise repeats the above analysis for the Van der Pol equation.
(3) The third exercise asks to show another system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at μ=0, determine stability in terms of μ, sketch the two possible bifurcation diagrams, and use Maple to investigate phase portraits for μ<0 and μ>0 to deduce which

(1) By writing the Rayleigh equation x + x 3 x + x = 0 as a rst order system, show that the origin undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at = 0. By computing the stability coecient a determine the stability of the bifurcating branches and sketch the bifurcation diagram. Also sketch the phase portrait for < 0 and > 0. Use Maple to plot the phase portraits numerically to conrm your answers. (A downloadable Maple worksheet is available from my homepage.) (2) Repeat the above for the Van der Pol equation x + ( x 2 ) x + x = 0. (3) Show that the origin undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at = 0 in the system x = (1 + )x y + x 2 xy, y = 2x y + x 2 . Determine the stability of the origin in terms of . Assuming that the bifurcation is non-degenerate, sketch the two possible bifurcation diagrams. Use Maple to investigate the phase portrait for < 0 and > 0. Deduce which of the two possible bifurcation diagrams actually occurs. (4) Carry out a Hopf bifurcation analysis for the nonlinear oscillator equa- tion x + x + x + x 3 = 0, showing that the stability coecient a is zero. By dierentiating with respect to t, show that the function V (t) = x 2 + x 2 + 1 2 x 4 is constant along solutions when = 0. Hint: Recall Q9, Further Exercises p105 in Berry. Hence sketch the phase portrait when = 0 and sketch the bifurcation diagram. Also sketch the phase portrait for < 0 and > 0. 1
