Reflection-preserving splitting of a dihedral Hopf bifurcation
ID: reflection-preserving-splitting-of-a-dihedral-hopf-bifurcation
If only reflection and common temporal phase remain, the linear complex matrix is . The symmetric and antisymmetric modes have eigenvalues and , generically separating their Hopf thresholds. One-component rotating-wave axes are no longer invariant. Their hyperbolic finite-amplitude periodic solutions can persist as mixed-mode solutions, often through secondary symmetry-breaking bifurcations, while the double primary onset splits into two simple Hopf onsets. Coefficients determine the detailed secondary diagram and stability.
