Abstract

The Hopf bifurcation theorem provides an effective criterion for finding periodic solutions for ordinary differential equations. Although various proofs of this classical theorem are known, there seems to be no easy way to arrive at the goal.

Notes

  1. 1.

    See Hopf [8] for the original formulation. Crandall and Rabinowitz [4] is extremely suggestive.

  2. 2.

    This chapter is based upon Ambrosetti and Prodi [1] and Maruyama [13, 14]. Masuda [16] Part I, Chap. 6 is quite helpful as a good exposition of bifurcation theory in general.

  3. 3.

    In the case of f(λ ∗, 0), in particular, f(λ ∗, x) = f(λ ∗, x) − f(λ ∗, 0) = D x f(λ ∗, 0)x + φ(λ ∗, x). Thus, φ(λ ∗, x) is a residue term of the linear approximation of f(λ ∗, x).

  4. 4.

    See Maruyama [12], pp. 281–283 for the implicit function theorem in infinite dimensional spaces.

  5. 5.

    Let \(\mathfrak {L}(\mathfrak {X}, \mathfrak {Y})\) be the space of bounded linear operators of \(\mathfrak {X}\) into \(\mathfrak {Y}\). M and N are bounded linear operators of \(\mathbb {R}\) into \(\mathfrak {L}(\mathfrak {X}, \mathfrak {Y})\). Hence each of M and N can be regarded as a point of \(\mathfrak {L}(\mathfrak {X}, \mathfrak {Y})\). Mv ∗ and Nv ∗ are points of \(\mathfrak {Y}\). Thus we can let P act on them.

  6. 6.

    cf. Lemma 10.5 on p. 15.

  7. 7.

    Related topics are discussed in Ambrosetti- Prodi [1] pp. 17–21.

  8. 8.

    Let \(\mathfrak {V}\) and \(\mathfrak {W}\) be a couple of Banach spaces. Assume that a function φ of an open subset U of \(\mathfrak {V}\) into \(\mathfrak {W}\) is Gâteaux-differentiable in a neighborhood V of x ∈ U. We denote by δφ(v) the Gâteaux-derivative of φ at v. If the function \(v \mapsto \delta \varphi (v)(V\rightarrow \mathfrak {L}(\mathfrak {V}, \mathfrak {W}))\) is continuous, then φ is Fréchet-differentiable. cf. Maruyama [12] pp. 236–237.

  9. 9.

    The continuity of the mapping can be proved in the same manner as in the proof of Lemma 11.1. Assumption 1(i) is used again for the dominated convergence argument.

  10. 10.

    This is a special case of the Rellich– Kondrachov Compactness Theorem. Evans [5] pp. 272–274.

  11. 11.

    If a 2π-periodic function \(\varphi : \mathbb {R}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) is absolutely continuous and its derivative φ′ belongs to \(\mathfrak {L}^2([0,2\pi ], \mathbb {R})\), then the Fourier series of φ uniformly converges to φ on \(\mathbb {R}\). The k-th Fourier coefficient of φ′ is given by \(ik\hat {\varphi }(k)\), where \(\hat {\varphi }(k)\) is the k-th Fourier coefficient of φ.

  12. 12.

    span{ξ} denotes the subspace of \(\mathbb {C}^n\) spanned by ξ.

  13. 13.

    Set \(\mu p(t)+\nu q(t) =\mu (\gamma \cos t -\delta \sin t)+\nu (\gamma \sin t+\delta \cos t) = (\mu \gamma +\nu \delta )\cos t+(\nu \gamma -\mu \delta )\sin t=0.\) Then we have

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \begin{cases} \mu \gamma +\nu \delta =0,\\ \nu \gamma -\mu \delta =0. \end{cases} \end{aligned}$$

    It follows that

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \begin{cases} \mu \nu \gamma +\nu ^2\delta =0,\\ \mu \nu \gamma -\mu ^2\delta =0. \end{cases} \end{aligned}$$

    Hence (ν 2 + μ 2)δ = 0. If μ ≠ 0 or ν ≠ 0, δ must be zero. And so ξ = γ, that is \(\xi =\bar {\xi }\) (real vector). Thus we get a contradiction.

  14. 14.

    Let \(f : \mathbb {R}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) (we may replace \(\mathbb {R}\) by \(\mathbb {R}^n\)) be a 2π-periodic function which is integrable on [− π.π]. Furthermore, we assume \(\hat {f}(0)=0\) (\(\hat {f}(0)\) is the Fourier coefficient corresponding to k = 0). If we define

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} F(t)=f(0)+\int_0^t f(\tau )d\tau, \end{aligned}$$

    F is a 2Ï€-periodic continuous function and

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \hat{F}(k)=\frac{1}{ik}\hat{f}(k), \quad k\neq0. \end{aligned}$$
  15. 15.

    For any \((\alpha _0, \beta _0)\in \mathbb {C}^n\times \mathbb {C}\), there exist some \(\lambda _0\in \mathbb {C}\) and \(\gamma _0\in (i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*})(\mathbb {C}^n)\) such that α 0 = λ 0 ξ + γ 0. Such λ 0 and γ 0 are unique. Let (α 0, β 0) = (0, 0). Then we must have λ 0 = 0 and γ 0 = 0. The equation

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \begin{pmatrix} (i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*})\theta \\ \langle \eta, \theta \rangle \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0\\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \end{aligned}$$

    has a unique solution \(\theta =0 (\in \mathbb {C}^n)\) because Ker\([i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*}]\cap \mathrm {Ker} \langle \eta, \cdot \rangle =\mathrm {Ker} [i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*}]\cap [i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*}](\mathbb {C}^n)=\{ 0\}\). Thus we conclude that D (λ,θ) g(μ ∗, iω ∗, 0) is injective.

  16. 16.

    iω ∗ is a simple eigenvalue, again by Assumption 2.

  17. 17.

    Look at Fig. 11.2. For the sake of an intuitive exposition, the vectors η, ξ and κ are treated as real vectors. By \(\langle \eta, \xi \rangle =\parallel \eta \parallel \cdot \parallel \xi \parallel \cos \theta =1\), it follows that \(\parallel \eta \parallel =1/\parallel \xi \parallel \cos \theta \). Hence

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \varPi (\kappa )=\xi \langle \eta, \kappa \rangle =(\parallel \kappa \parallel \cos \zeta /\parallel \xi \parallel \cos \theta )\cdot \xi . \end{aligned}$$
    Fig. 11.2
    figure 2

    Spectral projection

    Since \(\parallel \kappa \parallel \cos \zeta =0A\) (the length of the segment) and \(\parallel \xi \parallel \cos \theta =0B\),

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \varPi (\kappa )=\frac{0A}{0B}\cdot \xi . \end{aligned}$$

    Here ζ is the angle between η and κ, and θ is the one between ξ and η. κ can be represented uniquely as κ = αη + βz for some \(\alpha ,\beta \in \mathbb {C}\) and \(z\in [i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*}](\mathbb {C}^n)\). On the other hand, η can be represented uniquely in the form η = aξ + bz′ for some \(a,b\in \mathbb {C}\) and \(z'\in [i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*}](\mathbb {C}^n)\). Since ∥ η ∥2 = 〈aξ + bz′, η〉 = a〈ξ, η〉 + b〈z′, η〉 = a, it follows that η =∥ η ∥2 ξ + bz′. Hence we have

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \kappa =\alpha \eta +\beta z=\alpha \parallel \eta \parallel ^2\xi +(\alpha bz'+\beta z). \end{aligned}$$

    Furthermore, Π(κ) = 〈η, κ〉ξ = 〈η, α ∥ η ∥2 ξ + (αbz′ + βz)〉ξ = α ∥ η ∥2 ξ. (〈η, αbz′ + βz〉 = 0 because \(\alpha bz'+\beta z\in [i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*}](\mathbb {C}^n).\) ) Thus we obtain

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \kappa =\varPi (\kappa )+(\alpha bz'+\beta z). \end{aligned}$$

    This is the direct sum of \(\mathbb {C}^n \) corresponding to span{ξ} and \([i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^* }](\mathbb {C}^n)\).

  18. 18.

    Express each of the Fourier coefficients of y by the direct sum corresponding to span{ξ} and \([i\omega ^*I-A_{\mu ^*}](\mathbb {C}^n)\), and delete all the terms which do not contribute to the former.

  19. 19.

    \(\dot {x}\) and \(\ddot {x}\) denote the first and second derivatives of x with respect to t, respectively.

  20. 20.

    See Theorem 3.6 (p. 13).

  21. 21.

    Assume that \(\varphi _n:[a, b] \rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) is of class \(\mathfrak {C}^1 \;(n=1, 2, \cdots )\) and \(S(t)=\displaystyle {\sum _{n=1}^\infty } \varphi _n(t)\) is convergent. If \(\displaystyle {\sum _{n=1}^\infty } \varphi ^{\prime }_n(t)\) converges uniformly, S(t) is differentiable and \(S^{\prime }(t)=\displaystyle {\sum _{n=1}^\infty } \varphi _n^{\prime }(t)\). cf. Takagi [21], pp. 158–159, Stromberg [20] pp. 214–215. We assumed \(r \geqq 3\) to use this theorem.

  22. 22.

    See footnote 11 on p. 15.

    For an introductory exposition of business cycle theory, see Maruyama [15], Chap. 18.

  24. 24.

    We obtain s = −ε(μ + δ) + f′(0). It follows from this relation and (11.61) that

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \varepsilon = s(\mu + \delta) - \delta f'(0) = s(\mu + \delta) - \delta(s + \varepsilon(\mu + \delta)), \end{aligned}$$

    which gives

    $$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \mu^* = \frac{\varepsilon}{s-\delta\varepsilon}(\delta^2+1). \end{aligned}$$
