Résumé :

We derive a new global characterization of the normal forms of amplitude equations describing the dynamics of competing order parameters in degenerate bifurcation problems. Using an appropriate scalar product in the space of homogeneous vector polynomials, we show that the resonant terms commute with the group generated by the adjoint of the original critical linear operator. This leads to a very efficient constructive method to compute both the nonlinear coefficients and the unfolding of the normal form. Explicit examples, and results obtained when there are additional symmetries, are also presented. © 1987.
