Interpretation:
For the given function
Concept Introduction:
Bifurcation theory is used to study the stability of dynamical systems.
The phenomenon in which fixed points are created and destroyed by varying the control parameter is termed as saddle-node bifurcation.
Fixed points are the points where,
A pitchfork bifurcation occurs where the system transitions from one fixed point to three fixed points.
A subcritical pitchfork bifurcation occurs when there is a single unstable fixed point present, which after the change of parameters becomes unstable, and two new symmetric unstable fixed points appear.
