TITLE:

MULTI-FREQUENCY RHYTHMS AND CYCLING BEHAVIOR IN COUPLED CELL SYSTEMS (No. 9)

SPEAKER:

Antonio Palacios, Department of Mathematics, San Diego State University

ABSTRACT:

Symmetry-breaking bifurcation is a model-independent phenomenon that leads to many patterns of behavior in natural and artificial systems. In this talk, I will review the basic ideas behind symmetry-breaking bifurcations and will describe two generic patterns of behavior: cycling behavior and multi-frequency rhythms.
