Abstract

This thesis deals with steady-state mode interaction problems with symmetry.
We prove several results concerning problems invariant under the action of an
arbitrary compact Lie group Γ. These include the existence of mixed-mode
solutions and secondary Hopf bifurcations. We also consider the unfolding of
the equations characterizing such problems. Where appropriate, we distinguish
the case when Γ acts trivially on one of the modes. We then apply the results to
the problems of the (1,3)-, (1,5)- and (1,3,5)-mode interactions with spherical
symmetry. We also consider the (3,5)- and the (1,3,5)-mode interaction
problems with SO(3) symmetry.
