Local and global Hopf bifurcation in a neutral population model with age structure

In this paper, an age‐structured population model with the form of neutral functional differential equation is studied. We discuss the stability of the positive equilibrium by analyzing the characteristic equation. Local Hopf bifurcation results are also obtained by choosing the mature delay as bifurcation parameter. On the center manifold, the normal form of the Hopf bifurcation is derived, and explicit formulae for determining the criticality of bifurcation are theoretically given. Moreover, the global continuation of Hopf bifurcating periodic solutions is investigated by using the global Hopf bifurcation theory of neutral equations. Finally, some numerical examples are carried out to support the main results.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis of a general non-linear differential equation with delay

This work represents Hopf bifurcation analysis of a general non-linear differential equation involving time delay. A special form of this equation is the Hutchinson–Wright equation which is a mile stone in the mathematical modeling of population dynamics and mathematical biology. Taking the delay parameter as a bifurcation parameter, Hopf bifurcation analysis is studied by following the theory in the book by Hazzard et al. By analyzing the associated characteristic polynomial, we determine necessary conditions for the linear stability and Hopf bifurcation. In addition to this analysis, the direction of bifurcation, the stability and the period of a periodic solution to this equation are evaluated at a bifurcation value by using the Poincaré normal form and the center manifold theorem. Finally, the theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations.

A differential delay equation model with a discrete time delay and a distributed time delay is introduced to simulate zooplankton–nutrient interaction. The differential inequalities’ methods and standard Hopf bifurcation analysis are applied. Some sufficient conditions are obtained for persistence and for the global stability of the unique positive steady state, respectively. It was shown that there is a Hopf bifurcation in the model by using the discrete time delay as a bifurcation parameter.     

Hopf Bifurcation Analysis of a Class of Abstract Delay Differential Equation

The dynamics of a class of abstract delay differential equations are investigated. We prove that a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occur at the origin equilibrium as the delay increases. By using the theory of normal form and centre manifold, the direction of Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived. Then, the existence of the global Hopf bifurcation of the system is discussed by applying the global Hopf bifurcation theorem of general functional differential equation.

Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a modified delay predator-prey model with stage structure

In this paper, a modified delay predator-prey model with stage structure is established, which involves the economic factor and internal competition of all the prey and predator populations. By the methods of normal form and characteristic equation, we obtain the stability of the positive equilibrium point and the sufficient condition of the existence of Hopf bifurcation. We analyze the influence of the time delay on the equation and show the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation periodic solution. The simulation gives a visual understanding for the existence and direction of Hopf bifurcation of the model.

Stability of limit cycles in a pluripotent stem cell dynamics model

This paper is devoted to the study of the stability of limit cycles of a nonlinear delay differential equation with a distributed delay. The equation arises from a model of population dynamics describing the evolution of a pluripotent stem cells population. We study the local asymptotic stability of the unique nontrivial equilibrium of the delay equation and we show that its stability can be lost through a Hopf bifurcation. We then investigate the stability of the limit cycles yielded by the bifurcation using the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. We illustrate our results with some numerics.

In this paper, a hybrid ratio-dependent three species food chain model with time delay is studied by using the theory of functional differential equation and Hopf bifurcation, the condition on which positive equilibrium exists and the quality of Hopf bifurcation are given. Chaotic solutions are observed and are controlled by delay parameter. Finally, we indicate that when the delay passes through certain critical values, chaotic oscillation is converted into a stable state or a stable periodic orbit.

Delay induced Hopf bifurcation in a dual model of Internet congestion control algorithm

This paper focuses on the delay induced Hopf bifurcation in a dual model of Internet congestion control algorithms which can be modeled as a time-delay system described by a one-order delay differential equation (DDE). By choosing communication delay as the bifurcation parameter, we demonstrate that the system loses its stability and a Hopf bifurcation occurs when communication delay passes through a critical value. Moreover, the bifurcating periodic solution of the system is calculated by means of the perturbation method. Discussion of stability of the periodic solutions involves the computation of Floquet exponents by considering the corresponding Poincaré–Lindstedt series expansion. Finally, numerical simulations for verifying the theoretical analysis are provided.     

Codimension two bifurcation in a delayed neural network with unidirectional coupling

In this paper, a delayed neural network model with unidirectional coupling is considered. Zero–Hopf bifurcation is studied by using the center manifold reduction and the normal form method for retarded functional differential equation. We get the versal unfolding of the norm form at the zero–Hopf singularity and show that the model can exhibit pitchfork, Hopf bifurcation, and double Hopf bifurcation is also found to occur in this model. Some numerical simulations are given to support the analytic results.     

Multiple bifurcation analysis in a NDDE arising from van der Pol’s equation with extended delay feedback

Van der Pol’s equation with extended delay feedback control is considered, which is equivalent to a system of neutral differential–difference equations (NDDEs). Fold bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation in this NDDE are studied by the formal adjoint theory, the center manifold theorem and the normal form method. These methods are also first employed in studying the Bogdanov–Takens singularity of NDDE. Bifurcation sets theoretically indicate the existence of a homoclinic orbit and the coexistence of three periodic solutions, which are all illustrated by the numerical methods. The coexistence of three stable periodic solutions and the existence of stable torus near the Hopf–fold and Hopf–Hopf bifurcations are also illustrated, respectively.

Analysis of stability and Hopf bifurcation for a delayed logistic equation

The dynamics of a logistic equation with discrete delay are investigated, together with the local and global stability of the equilibria. In particular, the conditions under which a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occur at the positive equilibrium are obtained. Explicit algorithm for determining the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation are derived by using the theory of normal form and center manifold [Hassard B, Kazarino D, Wan Y. Theory and applications of Hopf bifurcation. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press; 1981.]. Global existence of periodic solutions is also established by using a global Hopf bifurcation result of Wu [Symmetric functional differential equations and neural networks with memory. Trans Amer Math Soc 350:1998;4799–38.]     

Delay induced subcritical Hopf bifurcation in a diffusive predator-prey model with herd behavior and hyperbolic mortality

In this paper, we consider the dynamics of a delayed diffusive predator-prey model with herd behavior and hyperbolic mortality under Neumann boundary conditions. Firstly, by analyzing the characteristic equations in detail and taking the delay as a bifurcation parameter, the stability of the positive equilibria and the existence of Hopf bifurcations induced by delay are investigated. Then, applying the normal form theory and the center manifold argument for partial functional differential equations, the formula determining the properties of the Hopf bifurcation are obtained. Finally, some numerical simulations are also carried out and we obtain the unstable spatial periodic solutions, which are induced by the subcritical Hopf bifurcation.

The existence of Hopf bifurcation to ordinary differential equation (ODE) and partial differential equation (PDE) models are derived, respectively. Furthermore, by using the center manifold theory and the normal form method, we establish the bifurcation direction and stability of periodic solutions. Finally, some numerical simulations are shown to support the analytical results, and to reveal new phenomenon on the Hopf bifurcation.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis in a novel congestion control model with communication delay

In this paper, we investigated Hopf bifurcation by analyzing the distributed ranges of eigenvalues of characteristic linearized equation. Using communication delay as the bifurcation parameter, linear stability criteria dependent on communication delay have also been derived, and, furthermore, the direction of Hopf bifurcation as well as stability of periodic solution for the exponential RED algorithm with communication delay is studied. We find that the Hopf bifurcation occurs when the communication delay passes a sequence of critical values. The stability and direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Finally, a numerical simulation is presented to verify the theoretical results.
