Discretizing Dynamical Systems with Hopf-Hopf Bifurcations


We consider parameter-dependent, continuous-time dynamical systems under discretizations. It is shown that Hopf-Hopf bifurcations are O(hp)-shifted and turned into double Neimark-Sacker points by general one-step methods of order p. Then we discuss the effect of discretization methods on the emanating Hopf curves. The numerical approximation of the critical eigenvalues is analyzed too. The results are illustrated by a numerical example.
