Patterns formed through steady-state and Hopf bifurcations in wreath produc
t systems depend on both the internal and global symmetries. In this paper
we explore some features of this dependence related to general constraints
on commuting matrices. We describe the stability of steady states and perio
dic solutions of wreath product systems obtained from the Equivariant Branc
hing Lemma and the Equivariant Hopf Theorem.
