Subcritical Hopf Bifurcation in the Delay Equation Model for Machine Tool Vibrations

We show the existence of a subcritical Hopf bifurcation in thedelay-differential equation model of the so-called regenerative machine toolvibration. The calculation is based on the reduction of the infinite-dimensional problem to a two-dimensional center manifold. Due to the specialalgebraic structure of the delayed terms in the nonlinear part of the equation,the computation results in simple analytical formulas. Numerical simulationsgave excellent agreement with the results.     

Multiple Scales without Center Manifold Reductions for Delay Differential Equations near Hopf Bifurcations

We study small perturbations of three linear Delay DifferentialEquations (DDEs) close to Hopf bifurcation points. In analytical treatments of such equations, many authors recommend a center manifold reductionas a first step. We demonstrate that the method of multiple scales, onsimply discarding the infinitely many exponentially decaying components of the complementary solutionsobtained at each stage of the approximation,can bypass the explicit center manifold calculation.Analytical approximations obtained for the DDEs studied closely matchnumerical solutions.

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.

Resonant Hopf–Hopf Interactions in Delay Differential Equations

A second-order delay differential equation (DDE) which models certain mechanical and neuromechanical regulatory systems is analyzed. We show that there are points in parameter space for which 1:2 resonant Hopf–Hopf interaction occurs at a steady state of the system. Using a singularity theoretic classification scheme [as presented by LeBlanc (1995) and LeBlanc and Langford (1996)], we then give the bifurcation diagrams for periodic solutions in two cases: variation of the delay and variation of the feedback gain near the resonance point. In both cases, period-doubling bifurcations of periodic solutions occur, and it is argued that two tori can bifurcate from these periodic solutions near the period doubling point. These results are then compared to numerical simulations of the DDE.     

Singularity Analysis on a Planar System with Multiple Delays

A planar model with multiple delays is studied. The singularities of the model and the corresponding bifurcations are investigated by using the standard dynamical results, center manifold theory and normal form method of retarded functional differential equations. It is shown that Bogdanov–Takens (BT) singularity for any time delays, and a serious of pitchfork and Hopf bifurcation can co-existent. The versal unfoldings of the normal forms at the BT singularity and the singularity of a pure imaginary and a zero eigenvalue are given, respectively. Numerical simulations have been provided to illustrate the theoretical predictions.     

On a Model of a Currency Exchange Rate – Local Stability and Periodic Solutions

A delay differential equation is presented which models how the behavior of traders influences the short time price movements of an asset. Sensitivity to price changes is measured by a parameter a. There is a single equilibrium solution, which is non-hyperbolic for all a>0. We prove that for a< 1 the equilibrium is asymptotically stable, and that for a>1 a 2-dimensional global center-unstable manifold connects the equilibrium to a periodic orbit. Its birth at a=1 is not of Hopf type and seems part of a Takens–Bogdanov scenario.

Inertial Flows,Slow Flows,and Combinatorial Identities for Delay Equations

The vector field induced on the finite-dimensional inertial manifold of a delay equation with small delay is proved to agree, up to the order of the expansion, with the vector field induced on a slow manifold of the differential equation obtained from the delay equation by expanding to some finite order in powers of the delay. In addition, the smoothness of inertial vector fields, the smoothness of slow vector fields, and the existence of combinatorial-style identities obtained by equating the series expansions of the slow and inertial vector fields are discussed.Dedicated to Professor Shui-Nee Chow on the occasion of his 60th birthday.AMS Subject Classification: 34K19.     

Hopf Bifurcation and Stability of Periodic Solutions for van der Pol Equation with Distributed Delay

The van der Pol equation with a distributed time delay is analyzed. Itslinear stability is investigated by employing the Routh–Hurwitzcriteria. Moreover, the local asymptotic stability conditions are alsoderived. By using the mean time delay as a bifurcation parameter, themodel is found to undergo a sequence of Hopf bifurcations. The directionand the stability criteria of the bifurcating periodic solutions areobtained by the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Somenumerical simulation examples for justifying the theoretical analysisare also given.     

Heteroclinic Connection of Periodic Solutions of Delay Differential Equations

For a certain class of delay equations with piecewise constant nonlinearities we prove the existence of a rapidly oscillating stable periodic solution and a rapidly oscillating unstable periodic solution. Introducing an appropriate Poincaré map, the dynamics of the system may essentially be reduced to a two dimensional map, the periodic solutions being represented by a stable and a hyperbolic fixed point. We show that the two dimensional map admits a one dimensional invariant manifold containing the two fixed points. It follows that the delay equations under consideration admit a one parameter family of rapidly oscillating heteroclinic solutions connecting the rapidly oscillating unstable periodic solution with the rapidly oscillating stable periodic solution.      

Delay Equations with Rapidly Oscillating Stable Periodic Solutions

We prove analytically that there exist delay equations admitting rapidly oscillating stable periodic solutions. Previous results were obtained with the aid of computers, only for particular feedback functions. Our proofs work for stiff equations with several classes of feedback functions. Moreover, we prove that for negative feedback there exists a class of feedback functions such that the larger the stiffness parameter is, the more stable rapidly oscillating periodic solutions there are. There are stable periodic solutions with arbitrarily many zeros per unit time interval if the stiffness parameter is chosen sufficiently large.     

Dynamic bifurcation of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-dimensional complex Swift-Hohenberg equation

This paper is concerned with the bifurcation of a complex Swift-Hohenberg equation. The attractor bifurcation of the complex Swift-Hohenberg equation on a one- dimensional domain （0, L） is investigated. It is shown that the n-dimensional complex Swift-Hohenberg equation bifurcates from the trivial solution to an attractor under the Dirichlet boundary condition on a general domain and under a periodic boundary condition when the bifurcation parameter crosses some critical values. The stability property of the bifurcation attractor is analyzed.     

Effects of technological delay on insulin and blood glucose in a physiological model

In this paper, a physiological model of invasive blood-glucose (BG) measurement is employed to consider the diabetic treatment by the external auxiliary system, i.e., artificial pancreas (AP). For such system, there are two time delays, i.e., technological and liver's physiological delay, where the former comes from external auxiliary system with the active pancreas inputting. The technological delay and the infection degree of patients are considered as two controlled parameters to regulate the BG level of patients. This two parameters can also lead to the non-resonant double Hopf bifurcations. The classification and unfolding for the non-resonant double Hopf bifurcation are performed in terms of non-linear dynamics. The results show that such controlled parameters are very important. They can determine the efficiency for the diabetic treatment. It implies whether the diabetic patients recover or are still tormented by the simple or complex glucose fluctuation. The results have also been promising applications on analyzing, predicting and optimizing the medical outcome, evaluating the medical risk and feasibility. The physiological meaning in this paper is that one is able to achieve the better medical outcomes for the different patients by controlling the technological delay qualitatively.     

Hopf bifurcation of an oscillator with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities and with delayed velocity feedback

This paper studies the local dynamics of an SDOF system with quadratic and cubic stiffness terms, and with linear delayed velocity feedback. The analysis indicates that for a sufficiently large velocity feedback gain, the equilibrium of the system may undergo a number of stability switches with an increase of time delay, and then becomes unstable forever. At each critical value of time delay for which the system changes its stability, a generic Hopf bifurcation occurs and a periodic motion emerges in a one-sided neighbourhood of the critical time delay. The method of Fredholm alternative is applied to determine the bifurcating periodic motions and their stability. It stresses on the effect of the system parameters on the stable regions and the amplitudes of the bifurcating periodic solutions.

Periodic Solutions for Some Systems of Delay Differential Equations

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic orbits of some systems of delay differential equations with a unique delay having 3, 4 or n equations. Moreover, we provide examples of delay systems satisfying the different sets of sufficient conditions.     

On the appearance of a Hopf bifurcation in a non-ideal mechanical problem

In this paper we studied a non-ideal system with two degrees of freedom consisting of a dumped nonlinear oscillator coupled to a rotatory part. We investigated the stability of the equilibrium point of the system and we obtain, in the critical case, sufficient conditions in order to obtain an appropriate Normal Form. From this, we get conditions for the appearance of Hopf Bifurcation when the difference between the driving torque and the resisting torque is small. It was necessary to use the Bezout Theorem, a classical result of Algebraic Geometry, in the obtaining of the foregoing results.     

Estimating Critical Hopf Bifurcation Parameters for a Second-Order Delay Differential Equation with Application to Machine Tool Chatter

Nonlinear time delay differential equations are well known to havearisen in models in physiology, biology and population dynamics. Theyhave also arisen in models of metal cutting processes. Machine toolchatter, from a process called regenerative chatter, has been identifiedas self-sustained oscillations for nonlinear delay differentialequations. The actual chatter occurs when the machine tool shifts from astable fixed point to a limit cycle and has been identified as arealized Hopf bifurcation. This paper demonstrates first that a class ofnonlinear delay differential equations used to model regenerativechatter satisfies the Hopf conditions. It then gives a precisecharacterization of the critical eigenvalues on the stability boundaryand continues with a complete development of the Hopf parameter, theperiod of the bifurcating solution and associated Floquet exponents.Several cases are simulated in order to show the Hopf bifurcationoccurring at the stability boundary. A discussion of a method ofintegrating delay differential equations is also given.
