Sudden change from chaos to oscillation death in the Bonhoeffer-van der Pol oscillator under weak periodic perturbation.

In this paper, we analyze the sudden change from chaos to oscillation death generated by the Bonhoeffer-van der Pol (BVP) oscillator under weak periodic perturbation. The parameter values of the BVP oscillator are chosen such that a stable focus and a stable relaxation oscillation coexist if no perturbation is applied. In such a system, complicated bifurcation structure is expected to emerge when weak periodic perturbation is applied because the stable focus and the stable relaxation oscillation coexist in close proximity in the phase plane. We draw a bifurcation diagram of the fundamental harmonic entrainment. The bifurcation structure is complex because there coexist two bifurcation sets. One is the bifurcation set generated in the vicinity of the stable focus, and the other is that generated in the vicinity of the stable relaxation oscillation. By analyzing the bifurcation diagram in detail, we can explain the sudden change from chaos with complicated waveforms to oscillation death. We make it clear that this phenomenon is caused by a saddle-node bifurcation.
