1:2 Resonance Bifurcation in the E-I Map

1:2 Resonance Bifurcation in the E-I Map

Bifurcation and Continuation

The movie comprises a sequence of phase portraits of the E-I map in the vicinity of the codimension 2 point of a 1:2 resonance bifurcation occurring on a period 2 orbit as a parameter is varied.

Real Experiments

Mud cracks when it shrinks and become brittle. If you make a uniform layer of mud and dry it uniformly, you get a pattern of irregular polygons with edges that usually meet at 90 degrees.
