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. MartÃn-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, E. Chan-López, A. MartÃn-Ruiz +3
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…
