State the normal-form equations for (i) a saddle-node bifurcation, (ii) a transcritical bifurcation and (iii) a pitchfork bifurcation, for a one-dimensional map xn+1=F(xn;μ).
Consider a period-doubling bifurcation of the form
xn+1=−xn+α+βxn+γxn2+δxn3+O(xn4),
where xn=O(μ1/2),α,β=O(μ), and γ,δ=O(1) as μ→0. Show that
Xn+2=Xn+μ^Xn−AXn3+O(Xn4),
where Xn=xn−21α, and the parameters μ^ and A are to be identified in terms of α,β, γ and δ. Deduce the condition for the bifurcation to be supercritical.
