Bogdanov–Takens and Triple Zero Bifurcations of Coupled van der Pol–Duffing Oscillators with Multiple Delays

Abstract

In this paper, the Bogdanov–Takens (B–T) and triple zero bifurcations are investigated for coupled van der Pol–Duffing oscillators with [Formula: see text] symmetry, in the presence of time delays due to the intrinsic response and coupling. Different from previous works, third order unfolding normal forms associated with B–T and triple zero bifurcations are needed, which are obtained by using the normal form theory of delay differential equations. Numerical simulations are also presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
