Claudia Wulff is visiting the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College today (Thursday 29 May) to give a talk in the Dynamical Systems Seminar. The talk is on “Relative Lyapunov centre bifurcation“. An abstract follows: relative equilibria and relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems. Relative Lyapunov centre bifurcations are bifurcations of […]

The paper “Relative Lyapunov center bifurcations“, co-authored by Claudia Wulff and Frank Schilder (Danish Technical University) has appeared online in the SIAM Journal of Applied Dynamical Systems. Relative equilibria (REs) and relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems and occur, for example, in celestial mechanics, molecular dynamics, and rigid body motion. REs […]
