Stochastic Bifurcations of Group-Invariant Solutions for a Generalized Stochastic Zakharov–Kuznetsov Equation

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of stochastic bifurcations of group-invariant solutions for stochastic nonlinear wave equations. The essence of this concept is to display bifurcation phenomena by investigating stochastic P-bifurcation and stochastic D-bifurcation of stochastic ordinary differential equations derived by Lie symmetry reductions of stochastic nonlinear wave equations. Stochastic bifurcations of group-invariant solutions can be considered as an indirect display of bifurcation phenomena of stochastic nonlinear wave equations. As a constructive example, we study stochastic bifurcations of group-invariant solutions for a generalized stochastic Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation.
