Description
Summary:A new transformation of parameters for generic discrete-time dynamical systems with two independent parameters is defined, for when the degeneracy occurs. Here the classical transformation of parameters <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mrow><mo>(</mo><msub><mi>α</mi><mn>1</mn></msub><mo>,</mo><msub><mi>α</mi><mn>2</mn></msub><mo>)</mo></mrow><mo>→</mo><mrow><mo>(</mo><msub><mi>β</mi><mn>1</mn></msub><mo>,</mo><msub><mi>β</mi><mn>2</mn></msub><mo>)</mo></mrow></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> is not longer regular at <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo>(</mo><mn>0</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>0</mn><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>; therefore, implicit function theorem (IFT) cannot be applied around the origin, and a new transformation is necessary. The approach in this article to a case of Chenciner bifurcation is theoretical, but it can provide an answer for a number of applications of dynamical systems. We studied the bifurcation scenario and found out that, by this transformation, four different bifurcation diagrams are obtained, and the non-degenerate Chenciner bifurcation can be described by two bifurcation diagrams.
