Show that a pitchfork bifurcation occurs when $mu = 0$ for the system
$$dotx = mu x + xy + 3y^2$$
$$doty = -2y + x^2 + 2xy^2$$.



Attempt at a solution
If $dotx = 0$ then
$$x = frac-3ymu + y.$$



The Jacobian is
$$J(x,y) = beginpmatrixmu + y & 6y + x\ 2x + 2y^2 & -2 + 4xyendpmatrix$$



I know that $det J(0, 0) = -2mu$ so the $(0, 0)$ fixed point passed from unstable to stable as we pass $mu = 0$, so we probably have a subcritical pitchfork.



Related question: What would you look for in a transcritical or saddle node bifurcation? What's the general procedure for determining the bifurcation type in a 2D system?

    1. After the pitchfork bifurcation the number of equilibriums changes from 1 to 3. It looks like that you can analyze how many equilibria there are depending on $mu$. 2. The general procedure is center manifold reduction. If you don't want to reinvent the wheel, Y. Kuznetsov's book provides explicit formulas that allows to recognize codimensione-1 and -2 bifurcations.
