bifurcation problem with symmetry group


Let Γ be a Lie group acting on a vector space V and let the system of ordinary differential equations

𝐱˙+g⁢(𝐱,λ)=0

where g:ℝn×ℝ→ℝn is smooth. Then g is called a bifurcation problem with symmetry group Γ if g∈ℰ→x,λ⁢(Γ) (where E→⁢(Γ) is the space of Γ-equivariant germs, at the origin, of C∞ mappings of V into V) satisfying

g⁢(0,0)=0

and

(d⁢g)0,0=0

where (d⁢g)0,0 denotes the Jacobian Matrix evaluated at (0,0). [GSS]
