A Note on K-Hyperbolic Periodic Solutions and Their Relation with Period-Doubling Bifurcations
摘要
Using a higher-order averaging method, we rigorously prove the existence of periodic orbits bifurcating from both Hopf and zero-Hopf equilibria in the Coullet system. We also present numerical evidence showing that some of these periodic orbits may undergo a secondary period-doubling bifurcation, which sometimes initiates a period-doubling cascade that constitutes a classical route to chaotic behavior. Our analysis emphasizes the importance of examining secondary bifurcations of k-hyperbolic periodic solutions emerging from Hopf points.
