Fig. 2. — Spectrum Im(σ), Re(σ) of the system (18,2) when ρ ≪ 1 (with ). The eigenvalues with the smallest absolute value are plotted for u₀ = 0.9u*₀ (disks) and for u₀ = 1.1u*₀ (square). We see that instability occurs via a collision and splitting of two pairs of eigenvalues along the imaginary axis (indicated by the arrows) and is a signature of a 1:1 resonance mechanism in a time-reversible system.
