Bifurcation of a Modified Leslie-Gower System with Discrete and Distributed Del

A modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey system with discrete and distributed delays is introduced. By analyzing the associated characteristic equation, stability and local Hopf bifurcation of the model are studied. It is found that the positive equilibrium is asymptotically stable when $\tau$ is less than a critical value and unstable when $\tau$ is greater than this critical value and the system can also undergo Hopf bifurcation at the positive equilibrium when $\tau$ crosses this critical value. Furthermore, using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem, the formulae for determining the direction of periodic solutions bifurcating from positive equilibrium are derived. Some numerical simulations are also carried out to illustrate our results.

Bifurcation analysis and chaos control of the modified Chua’s circuit system

From the view of bifurcation and chaos control, the dynamics of modified Chua’s circuit system are investigated by a delayed feedback method. Firstly, the local stability of the equilibria is discussed by analyzing the distribution of the roots of associated characteristic equation. The regions of linear stability of equilibria are given. It is found that there exist Hopf bifurcation and Hopf-zero bifurcation when the delay passes though a sequence of critical values. By using the normal form method and the center manifold theory, we derive the explicit formulas for determining the direction and stability of Hopf bifurcation. Finally, chaotic oscillation is converted into a stable equilibrium or a stable periodic orbit by designing appropriate feedback strength and delay. Some numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytic results.
