Abstract:
Bifurcations of relative equilibria in perturbed infinite- dimensional Hamiltonian systems are studied. We assume that the unperturbed systems have symmetries and some of them are broken by the perturbations. Using the Lyapunov-Schmidt method, we detect saddle-node and pitchfork bifurcations along with the linear stability of bifurcated relative equilibria. Our theory is illustrated for solitary waves of the nonlinear Schr\{o}dinger equations and the theoretical results are demonstrated with the numerical ones.
