Nonintegrability of the unfoldings of codimension-two bifurcations

Codimension-two bifurcations are fundamental and interesting phenomena in dynamical systems. Fold-Hopf and double-Hopf bifurcations are the most important among them. We study the unfoldings of these two codimension-two bifurcations, and obtain sufficient conditions for their nonintegrability in the meaning of Bogoyavlenskij. We reduce the problems of the unfoldings to those of planar polynomial vector fields and analyze the nonintegrability of the planar vector fields, based on Ayoul and Zung’s version of the Morales-Ramis theory. New useful criteria for nonintegrability of planar polynomial vector fields are also given. The approaches used here are applicable to many problems including circular symmetric systems.
