The trace field on the prey nullcline: criticality of planar Hopf bifurcations on the admissible branch
E. Chan-López
We work with the trace field restricted to the prey nullcline of a planar predator--prey system and reorganize the first Lyapunov coefficient around this local geometry. For a grap…

Symmetric Nonlinear Cellular Automata as Algebraic References for Rule 30
E. Chan-López, A. Martín-Ruiz
A comparative algebraic framework for elementary cellular automata is developed, centered on the role of spatial symmetry. The primary object of study is Rule 22, the elementary ce…

Nullcline geometry constrains the location of oscillatory instabilities in planar predator--prey systems
E. Chan-López, A. Martín-Ruiz, Víctor Castellanos
We prove that the critical structure of the prey nullcline governs where oscillatory instabilities can emerge in planar predator--prey systems. For a broad class of Gause--type mod…
