The global bifurcation diagrams for two different one-parametric perturbations (+λx and +λx 2 ) of a dissipative scalar nonautonomous ordinary differential equation x ′ = f (t, x) are described assuming that 0 is a constant solution, that f is recurrent in t, and that its first derivative with respect to x is a strictly concave function. The use of the skewproduct formalism allows us to identify bifurcations with changes in the number of minimal sets and in the shape of the global attractor. In the case of perturbation +λx, a socalled global generalized pitchfork bifurcation may arise, with the particularity of lack of an analogue in autonomous dynamics. This new bifurcation pattern is extensively investigated in this work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
