bifurcation
Definition(s)
- A bifurcation is the value of a smoothly varying control parameter, or the point in parameter space, at which the behavior of a dynamical system undergoes a qualitative change. For example, a simple equilibrium, or a fixed-point attractor, might give way to a periodic oscillation as the stress on a system increases. Similarly, a periodic attractor might become unstable and be replaced by a chaotic attractor. (Encyclopedia of Science, by David Darling, https://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/B/bifurcation.html)
