Stability analysis of a noise-induced Hopf bifurcation
We study analytically and numerically the noise-induced transition between an
absorbing and an oscillatory state in a Duffing oscillator subject to
multiplicative, Gaussian white noise. We show in a non-perturbative manner that
a stochastic bifurcation occurs when the Lyapunov exponent of the linearised
system becomes positive. We deduce from a simple formula for the Lyapunov
exponent the phase diagram of the stochastic Duffing oscillator. The behaviour
of physical observables, such as the oscillator's mean energy, is studied both
close to and far from the bifurcation.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure

Bifurcation and Chaos in Coupled Ratchets exhibiting Synchronized Dynamics
The bifurcation and chaotic behaviour of unidirectionally coupled
deterministic ratchets is studied as a function of the driving force amplitude
() and frequency (). A classification of the various types of
bifurcations likely to be encountered in this system was done by examining the
stability of the steady state in linear response as well as constructing a
two-parameter phase diagram in the () plane. Numerical explorations
revealed varieties of bifurcation sequences including quasiperiodic route to
chaos. Besides, the familiar period-doubling and crises route to chaos
exhibited by the one-dimensional ratchet were also found. In addition, the
coupled ratchets display symmetry-breaking, saddle-nodes and bubbles of
bifurcations. Chaotic behaviour is characterized by using the sensitivity to
initial condition as well as the Lyapunov exponent spectrum; while a perusal of
the phase space projected in the Poincar cross-section confirms some
of the striking features.Comment: 7 pages; 8 figure
