Abstract

Although, bifurcation theory of ordinary differential equations with autonomous and periodic time dependence is a major object of research in the study of dynamical systems since decades, the notion of a nonautonomous bifurcation is not yet established. In this article, two different approaches are discussed which are based on special notions of attractivity and repulsivity. Generalizations of the well-known one-dimensional transcritical and pitchfork bifurcation are obtained.
