Bifurcation analysis of a tri-neuron neural network model in the frequency domain

In this paper, a class of neural network models with three neurons is considered. By applying the frequency domain approach and analyzing the associated characteristic equation, the existence of the bifurcation parameter point is determined. If the coefficient μ is chosen as a bifurcation parameter, it is found that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the parameter μ passes through a critical value. The direction and the stability of Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions are determined by the Nyquist criterion and the graphical Hopf bifurcation theorem. Some numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical analysis are also provided.     

Hopf bifurcation in delayed van der Pol oscillators

In this paper, we consider a classical van der Pol equation with a general delayed feedback. Firstly, by analyzing the associated characteristic equation, we derive a set of parameter values where the Hopf bifurcation occurs. Secondly, in the case of the standard Hopf bifurcation, the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions and bifurcation direction are determined by applying the normal form theorem and the center manifold theorem. Finally, a generalized Hopf bifurcation corresponding to non-semisimple double imaginary eigenvalues (case of 1:1 resonance) is analyzed by using a normal form approach.

Multiple scales analysis for double Hopf bifurcation with?1:3?resonance

The dynamical behavior of a general n-dimensional delay differential equation (DDE) around a 1:3 resonant double Hopf bifurcation point is analyzed. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain complex bifurcation equations. By expressing complex amplitudes in a mixed polar-Cartesian representation, the complex bifurcation equations are again obtained in real form. As an illustration, a system of two coupled van der Pol oscillators is considered and a set of parameter values for which a 1:3 resonant double Hopf bifurcation occurs is established. The dynamical behavior around the resonant double Hopf bifurcation point is analyzed in terms of three control parameters. The validity of analytical results is shown by their consistency with numerical simulations.     

Hopf Bifurcation on a Two-Neuron System with Distributed Delays: A Frequency Domain Approach

In this paper, a more general two-neuron model with distributed delays and weak kernel is investigated. By applying the frequency domain approach and analyzing the associated characteristic equation, the existence of bifurcation parameter point is determined. Furthermore, we found that if the mean delay is used as a bifurcation parameter, Hopf bifurcation occurs for the weak kernel. This means that a family of periodic solutions bifurcates from the equilibrium when the bifurcation parameter exceeds a critical value. The direction and stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are determine by the Nyquist criterion and the graphical Hopf bifurcation theorem. Some numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical analysis are also given.     

HOPF BIFURCATION OF A NONLINEAR RESTRAINED CURVED PIPE CONVEYING FLUID BY DIFFERENTIAL QUADRATURE METHOD

This paper proposes a new method for investigating the Hopf bifurcation of a curved pipe conveying fluid with nonlinear spring support. The nonlinear equation of motion is derived by forces equilibrium on microelement of the system under consideration. The spatial coordinate of the system is discretized by the differential quadrature method and then the dynamic equation is solved by the Newton-Raphson method. The numerical solutions show that the inner fluid velocity of the Hopf bifurcation point of the curved pipe varies with different values of the parameter,nonlinear spring stiffness. Based on this, the cycle and divergent motions are both found to exist at specific fluid flow velocities with a given value of the nonlinear spring stiffness. The results are useful for further study of the nonlinear dynamic mechanism of the curved fluid conveying pipe.     

Regenerative Tool Chatter Near a Codimension 2 Hopf Point Using Multiple Scales

We study a well-known regenerative machine tool vibration model (a delay differential equation) near a codimension 2 Hopf bifurcation point. The method of multiple scales is used directly, bypassing a center manifold reduction. We use a nonstandard choice of expansion parameter that helps understand practically relevant aspects of the dynamics for not-too-small amplitudes. Analytical expressions are then obtained for the double Hopf points. Both sub- and supercritical bifurcations are predicted to occur near the reference point; and analytical conditions on the parameter variations for each type of bifurcation to occur are obtained as well. Analytical approximations are supported by numerics.

Throughflow and Quadratic Drag Effects on Thermal Convection in a Rotating Porous Layer

A linear stability analysis is implemented to study thermal convective instability in a horizontal fluid-saturated rotating porous layer with throughflow in the vertical direction. The modified Forchheimer-extended Darcy equation that includes the time-derivative and Coriolis terms is employed as a momentum equation. The criterion for the occurrence of direct and Hopf bifurcations is obtained using the Galerkin method. It is shown that if a Hopf bifurcation is possible it always occurs at a lower value of the Darcy?CRayleigh number than the direct bifurcation. Increase in the throughflow strength and inertia parameter is to decrease the domain of Prandtl number up to which Hopf bifurcation is limited but opposite is the trend with increasing Taylor number. The effect of rotation is found to be stabilizing the system, in general. However, in the presence of both rotation and Forchheimer drag a small amount of vertical throughflow as well as inertia parameter show some destabilizing effect on the onset of direct bifurcation; a result of contrast noticed when they are acting in isolation. The existing results in the literature are obtained as limiting cases from the present study.     

Hopf and resonant double Hopf bifurcation in congestion control algorithm with heterogeneous delays

The congestion control algorithm, which has dynamic adaptations at both user ends and link ends, with heterogeneous delays is considered and analyzed. Some general stability criteria involving the delays and the system parameters are derived by generalized Nyquist criteria. Furthermore, by choosing one of the delays as the bifurcation parameter, and when the delay exceeds a critical value, a limit cycle emerges via a Hopf bifurcation. Resonant double Hopf bifurcation is also found to occur in this model. An efficient perturbation-incremental method is presented to study the delay-induced resonant double Hopf bifurcation. For the bifurcation parameter close to a double Hopf point, the approximate expressions of the periodic solutions are updated iteratively by use of the perturbation-incremental method. Simulation results have verified and demonstrated the correctness of the theoretical results.     

One-to-three resonant Hopf bifurcations of a maglev system

This paper studies the dynamics of a maglev system around 1:3 resonant Hopf–Hopf bifurcations. When two pairs of purely imaginary roots exist for the corresponding characteristic equation, the maglev system has an interaction of Hopf–Hopf bifurcations at the intersection of two bifurcation curves in the feedback control parameter and time delay space. The method of multiple time scales is employed to drive the bifurcation equations for the maglev system by expressing complex amplitudes in a combined polar-Cartesian representation. The dynamics behavior in the vicinity of 1:3 resonant Hopf–Hopf bifurcations is studied in terms of the controller’s parameters (time delay and two feedback control gains). Finally, numerical simulations are presented to support the analytical results and demonstrate some interesting phenomena for the maglev system.     

Hopf Bifurcation in a Diffusive Logistic Equation with Mixed Delayed and Instantaneous Density Dependence

A diffusive logistic equation with mixed delayed and instantaneous density dependence and Dirichlet boundary condition is considered. The stability of the unique positive steady state solution and the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation from this positive steady state solution are obtained by a detailed analysis of the characteristic equation. The direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic orbits are derived by the center manifold theory and normal form method. In particular, the global continuation of the Hopf bifurcation branches are investigated with a careful estimate of the bounds and periods of the periodic orbits, and the existence of multiple periodic orbits are shown.     

Global Hopf Bifurcation Analysis of a Nicholson’s Blowflies Equation of Neutral Type

We investigate Hopf bifurcations in a delayed Nicholson’s blowflies equation of neutral type, derived from the Gurtin–MacCamy model. A key parameter that determines the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived. Global extension of local Hopf branches is established by combining a global Hopf bifurcation theorem with a Bendixson criterion for higher dimensional ordinary differential equations. We show that a branch of slowly varying periodic solutions and a branch of fast oscillating periodic solutions coexist for all large delays.     

Bifurcation in two-dimensional neural network model with delay

A kind of 2-dimensional neural network model with delay is considered. By analyzing the distribution of the roots of the characteristic equation associated with the model, a bifurcation diagram was drawn in an appropriate parameter plane. It is found that a line is a pitchfork bifurcation curve. Further more, the stability of each fixed point and existence of Hopf bifurcation were obtained. Finally, the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions were determined by using the normal form method and centre manifold theory.

Multiple stability switches and Hopf bifurcation in a damped harmonic oscillator with delayed feedback

This paper takes into consideration a damped harmonic oscillator model with delayed feedback. After transforming the model into a system of first-order delayed differential equations with a single discrete delay, the single stability switch and multiple stability switches phenomena as well as the existence of Hopf bifurcation of the zero equilibrium of the system are explored by taking the delay as the bifurcation parameter and analyzing in detail the associated characteristic equation. Particularly, in view of the normal form method and the center manifold reduction for retarded functional differential equations, the explicit formula determining the properties of Hopf bifurcation including the direction of the bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are given. In order to check the rationality of our theoretical results, numerical simulations for some specific examples are also carried out by means of the MATLAB software package.
