A Model Function for Non-Autonomous Bifurcations of Maps


In this paper, we introduce a class of one-dimensional non-autonomous dynamical systems that allows an explicit study of its orbits as well as of the solutions of the associated variational equation. Furthermore, the solution operators also have explicit representations. In a special case, the model function can be transformed into the non-autonomous Beverton-Holt equation. We use this function for analyzing various notions of non-autonomous transcritical and pitchfork bifurcations that have been recently developed in the literature.
