Coalescence of limit cycles in the presence of noise
arXiv:2306.09524 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.109.024220
Abstract
Complex dynamical systems may exhibit multiple steady states, including time-periodic limit cycles, where the final trajectory depends on initial conditions. With tuning of parameters, limit cycles can proliferate or merge at an exceptional point. Here we ask how dynamics in the vicinity of such a bifurcation are influenced by noise. A pitchfork bifurcation can be used to induce bifurcation behavior. We model a limit cycle with the normal form of the Hopf oscillator, couple it to the pitchfork, and investigate the resulting dynamical system in the presence of noise. We show that the generating functional for the averages of the dynamical variables factorizes between the pitchfork and the oscillator. The statistical properties of the pitchfork in the presence of noise in its various regimes are investigated and a scaling theory is developed for the correlation and response functions. The analysis is done by perturbative calculations as well as numerical means. Finally, observables illustrating the coupling of a system with a limit cycle to a pitchfork are discussed and the phase-phase correlations are shown to exhibit non-diffusive behavior with universal scaling.
