NEW TYPE OF BIFURCATIONS IN THE MODIFIED RAYLEIGH–BENARD ´ CONVECTION PROBLEM

The original Rayleigh–Benard convection is a standard example of the system where bifurcations occur with changing of a control parameter. In this paper we consider the modified Rayleigh–Benard convection problem including radiative effects as well as gas sources on a surface. Such formulation leads to the identification of new type of bifurcations in the problem besides the well-known Benard cells. This problem is very important for mathematics of climate because it proves the occurrence of the climate system tipping point related to greenhouse gas emission into the atmosphere.
