New Bifurcation Critical Criterion of Flip-Neimark-Sacker Bifurcations for Two-Parameterized Family of n-Dimensional Discrete Systems by Shengji Yao

“…As compared with the classical critical criterion (or definition) of flip-Neimark-Sacker bifurcation stated in terms of the properties of eigenvalues, the proposed criterion is preferable in anticontrolling or detecting the existence of flip-Neimark-Sacker bifurcation in high-dimension nonlinear systems, due to its explicit parameter mechanism of the bifurcation.…”
