A Neimark-Sacker bifurcation is a type of bifurcation that occurs in dynamical systems, specifically when a fixed point undergoes a Hopf bifurcation leading to the emergence of a quasi-periodic orbit in the phase space. This bifurcation is significant because it transforms the stability of the system from periodic behavior to more complex oscillatory behavior, indicating a transition from simple to intricate dynamics as parameters vary.
congrats on reading the definition of neimark-sacker bifurcation. now let's actually learn it.
