Title
Small Discoveries Can Have Great Consequences In Love Affairs: The Case Of Beauty And The Beast
Abstract
A mathematical model is proposed for interpreting the love story portrayed by Walt Disney in the film "Beauty and The Beast". The analysis shows that the story is characterized by a sudden explosion of sentimental involvements, revealed by the existence of a saddle-node bifurcation in the model. The paper is interesting not only because it deals for the first time with catastrophic bifurcations in specific romantic relationships, but also because it enriches the list of examples in which love stories are satisfactorily described through Ordinary Differential Equations.
