Local and Global Techniques for the Tracking of Periodic Solutions of Parameter-Dependent Functional Differential Equations
Abstract
This project was a continuation of an ongoing study of numerical/ analytic techniques for the identification of periodic solutions to functional differential equations. The techniques developed apply to very general classes of equations, and have been implemented on a variety of specific model problems. The areas investigated involve techniques and information not attainable by standard simulation methods. The work completed can roughly be subdivided according to the local (Hopf bifurcation) analysis in the neighborhood of equilibria, and global tracking methods for following 1-parameter families of periodic orbits and examining their secondary bifurcation structure.
