Bifurcation analysis on a generalized recurrent neural network with two interconnected three-neuron components

A class of recurrent neural networks is constructed by generalizing a specific class of n-neuron networks. It is shown that the newly constructed network experiences generic pitchfork and Hopf codimension one bifurcations. It is also proved that the emergence of generic Bogdanov–Takens, pitchfork–Hopf and Hopf–Hopf codimension two, and the degenerate Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation points in the parameter space is possible due to the intersections of codimension one bifurcation curves. The occurrence of bifurcations of higher codimensions significantly increases the capability of the newly constructed recurrent neural network to learn broader families of periodic signals.     

Limit cycles in slow-fast codimension 3 saddle and elliptic bifurcations

This paper deals with local bifurcations occurring near singular points of planar slow-fast systems. In particular, it is concerned with the study of the slow-fast variant of the unfolding of a codimension 3 nilpotent singularity. The slow-fast variant of a codimension 1 Hopf bifurcation has been studied extensively before and its study has lead to the notion of canard cycles in the Van der Pol system. Similarly, codimension 2 slow-fast Bogdanov–Takens bifurcations have been characterized. Here, the singularity is of codimension 3 and we distinguish slow-fast elliptic and slow-fast saddle bifurcations. We focus our study on the appearance on small-amplitude limit cycles, and rely on techniques from geometric singular perturbation theory and blow-up.     

Bogdanov‐Takens bifurcations of codimensions 2 and 3 in a Leslie‐Gower predator‐prey model with Michaelis‐Menten–type prey harvesting

The Bogdanov‐Takens bifurcations of a Leslie‐Gower predator‐prey model with Michaelis‐Menten–type prey harvesting were studied. In the paper “Diff. Equ. Dyn. Syst. 20(2012), 339‐366,” Gupta et al proved that the Leslie‐Gower predator‐prey model with Michaelis‐Menten–type prey harvesting has rich dynamics. Some equilibria of codimension 1 and their bifurcations were discussed. In this paper, we find that the model has an equilibrium of codimensions 2 and 3. We also prove analytically that the model undergoes Bogdanov‐Takens bifurcations (cusp cases) of codimensions 2 and 3. Hence, the model can have 2 limit cycles, coexistence of a stable homoclinic loop and an unstable limit cycle, supercritical and subcritical Hopf bifurcations, and homoclinic bifurcation of codimension 1 as the values of parameters vary. Moreover, several numerical simulations are conducted to illustrate the validity of our results.     

Bifurcation analysis of a Leslie-type predator–prey system with simplified Holling type IV functional response and strong Allee effect on prey

In this paper, a Leslie-type predator–prey system with simplified Holling type IV functional response and strong Allee effect on prey is proposed. The dissipativity of the system and the existence of all possible equilibria are investigated. The investigation emphasizes the exploring of bifurcation. It is shown that the system exists several non-hyperbolic positive equilibria, such as a weak focus of multiplicities one and two, (degenerate) saddle–nodes and Bogdanov–Takens singularities (cusp case) of codimensions 2 and 3. At these equilibria, it is proved that the system undergoes various kinds of bifurcations, such as saddle–node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, degenerate Hopf bifurcation and Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation of codimensions 2 and 3. With the parameters selected properly, there exhibits a limit cycle, a homoclinic loop, two limit cycles, a semistable limit cycle, or the simultaneous occurrence of a homoclinic loop and a limit cycle in the system. Moreover, it is also proved that the system has a cusp of codimension at least 4. Hence, there may exist three limit cycles generated from Hopf bifurcation of codimension 3. Numerical simulations are done to support the theoretical results.     

A proof of Perkoʼs conjectures for the Bogdanov–Takens system

The Bogdanov–Takens system has at most one limit cycle and, in the parameter space, it exists between a Hopf and a saddle-loop bifurcation curves. The aim of this paper is to prove the Perko?s conjectures about some analytic properties of the saddle-loop bifurcation curve. Moreover, we provide sharp piecewise algebraic upper and lower bounds for this curve.     

Bifurcations of an epidemic model with non-monotonic incidence rate of saturated mass action

In this paper, we study the bifurcations of an epidemic model with non-monotonic incidence rate of saturated mass action, which describes the psychological effects of the community on certain serious diseases when the number of infective is getting larger. By carrying out the bifurcation analysis of the model, we show that there exist some values of the model parameters such that numerous kinds of bifurcation occur for the model, such as Hopf bifurcation, Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation.     

Bifurcation analysis of a generalized Gause model with prey harvesting and a generalized Holling response function of type III

In this paper we study a generalized Gause model with prey harvesting and a generalized Holling response function of type III: . The goal of our study is to give the bifurcation diagram of the model. For this we need to study saddle-node bifurcations, Hopf bifurcation of codimension 1 and 2, heteroclinic bifurcation, and nilpotent saddle bifurcation of codimension 2 and 3. The nilpotent saddle of codimension 3 is the organizing center for the bifurcation diagram. The Hopf bifurcation is studied by means of a generalized Liénard system, and for b=0 we discuss the potential integrability of the system. The nilpotent point of multiplicity 3 occurs with an invariant line and can have a codimension up to 4. But because it occurs with an invariant line, the effective highest codimension is 3. We develop normal forms (in which the invariant line is preserved) for studying of the nilpotent saddle bifurcation. For b=0, the reversibility of the nilpotent saddle is discussed. We study the type of the heteroclinic loop and its cyclicity. The phase portraits of the bifurcations diagram (partially conjectured via the results obtained) allow us to give a biological interpretation of the behavior of the two species.     

Bifurcation analysis in van der Pol's oscillator with delayed feedback

In this paper, a classical van der Pol's equation with generally delayed feedback is considered. It is shown that there are Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation, triple zero and Hopf-zero singularities by analyzing the distribution of the roots of the associated characteristic equation. In the situation that the zero is as a simple eigenvalue, the normal forms of the reduced equations are obtained by the center manifold theory and normal form method for functional differential equation, and hence the stability of the fixed point is determined, and transcritical and pitchfork bifurcations are found.     

Organizing center for the bifurcation analysis of a generalized Gause model with prey harvesting and Holling response function of type III

The present note is an addendum to the paper of Etoua-Rousseau (2010) [1] which presented a study of a generalized Gause model with prey harvesting and a generalized Holling response function of type III: . Complete bifurcation diagrams were proposed, but some parts were conjectural. An organizing center for the bifurcation diagram was given by a nilpotent point of saddle type lying on an invariant line and of codimension greater than or equal to 3. This point was of codimension 3 when b≠0, and was conjectured to be of infinite codimension when b=0. This conjecture was in line with a second conjecture that the Hopf bifurcation of order 2 degenerates to a Hopf bifurcation of infinite codimension when b=0. In this note we prove these two conjectures.     

Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation in a Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with prey harvesting

This paper discuss the cusp bifurcation of codimension 2 （i.e. Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation） in a Leslie~Gower predator-prey model with prey harvesting, which was not revealed by Zhu and Lan [Phase portraits, Hopf bifurcation and limit cycles of Leslie-Gower predator-prey systems with harvesting rates, Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems Series B. 14（1） （2010）, 289-306]. It is shown that there are different parameter values for which the model has a limit cycle or a homoclinic loop.     

Bifurcations and Chaos in a Discrete Predator-prey System with Holling Type-IV Functional Response

A discrete predator-prey system with Holling type-IV functional response obtained by the Euler method is first investigated. The conditions of existence for fold bifurcation, flip bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation are derived by using the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory. Furthermore, we give the condition for the occurrence of codimension-two bifurcation called the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation for fixed points and present approximate expressions for saddle-node, Hopfand homoclinic bifurcation sets near the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation point. We also show the existence of degenerated fixed point with codimension three at least. The numerical simulations, including bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits, and computation of maximum Lyapunov exponents, not only show the consistence with the theoretical analysis but also exhibit the rich and complex dynamical behaviors such as the attracting invariant circle, period-doubling bifurcation from period-2,3,4 orbits.interior crisis, intermittency mechanic, and sudden disappearance of chaotic dynamic.     

An SIRS model with a nonlinear incidence rate

The global dynamics of an SIRS model with a nonlinear incidence rate is investigated. We establish a threshold for a disease to be extinct or endemic, analyze the existence and asymptotic stability of equilibria, and verify the existence of bistable states, i.e., a stable disease free equilibrium and a stable endemic equilibrium or a stable limit cycle. In particular, we find that the model admits stability switches as a parameter changes. We also investigate the backward bifurcation, the Hopf bifurcation and Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation and obtain the Hopf bifurcation criteria and Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation curves, which are important for making strategies for controlling a disease.

建立了医疗资源影响下的考虑疾病具有潜伏期的一类传染病模型,并分析了模型的动力学性态.发现疾病流行与否由基本再生数和医院病床数共同决定,并得到了病床数的阈值条件.当基本再生数R_0大于1时,系统只存在惟一正平衡点,且通过构造Dulac函数证明了正平衡点只要存在一定是全局渐近稳定的;当R_01,我们得到系统存在两个正平衡点及无正平衡点的条件,且只有当医院的病床数小于阈值时,系统会经历后向分支.因此,可根据实际情况使医院病床的投入量不低于阈值条件,不仅有利于疾病的控制而且不会出现医疗资源过剩的现象.     

Analyses of Bifurcations and Stability in a Predator-prey System with Holling Type-Ⅳ Functional Response

In this paper the dynamical behaviors of a predator-prey system with Holling Type-Ⅳfunctionalresponse are investigated in detail by using the analyses of qualitative method,bifurcation theory,and numericalsimulation.The qualitative analyses and numerical simulation for the model indicate that it has a unique stablelimit cycle.The bifurcation analyses of the system exhibit static and dynamical bifurcations including saddle-node bifurcation,Hopf bifurcation,homoclinic bifurcation and bifurcation of cusp-type with codimension two(ie,the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation),and we show the existence of codimension three degenerated equilibriumand the existence of homoclinic orbit by using numerical simulation.     

Complex Dynamics in a Unified SIR and HIV Disease Model: A Bifurcation Theory Approach

This paper is concerned with complex dynamical behaviors of a simple unified SIR and HIV disease model with a convex incidence and four real parameters. Due to the complex nature of the disease dynamics, our goal is to explore bifurcations including multistable states, limit cycles, and homoclinic loops in the whole parameter space. The first contribution is the proof of the existence of multiple limit cycles giving rise from Hopf bifurcation, which further induces bistable or tristable states because of the coexistence of stable equilibria and periodic motion. Next, we propose that the existence of Bogdanov–Takens (BT) bifurcation yields the bifurcation of homoclinic loops, which provides a new mechanism for generating disease recurrence, for example, the relapse–remission, viral blip cycles in HIV infection. Last, we present a novel method for the derivation of the normal forms of codimension two and three BT bifurcations. The method is based on the simplest normal form theory from Yu’s previous works.

     

Delay-induced Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation in a Leslie–Gower predator–prey model with nonmonotonic functional response

This work is concerned with the dynamics of a Leslie–Gower predator–prey model with nonmonotonic functional response near the Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation point. By analyzing the characteristic equation associated with the nonhyperbolic equilibrium, the critical value of the delay inducing the Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation is obtained. In this case, the dynamics near this nonhyperbolic equilibrium can be reduced to the study of the dynamics of the corresponding normal form restricted to the associated two-dimensional center manifold. The bifurcation diagram near the Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation point is drawn according to the obtained normal form. We show that the change of delay can result in heteroclinic orbit, homoclinic orbit and unstable limit cycle.     

Bifurcations of a Leslie-Gower prey-predator system with ratio-dependent Holling IV functional response and prey harvesting

The dynamics of a Leslie-Gower prey-predator system with ratio-dependent Holling IV functional response and constant harvesting rate of prey are taken into account. The results developed in this article reveal far richer dynamics compared with the system without harvesting. We first make qualitative and bifurcation analysis of the system without harvesting and show that the system has a weak focus of multiplicity at most 2, at which a Hopf bifurcation occurs. However, the system with harvesting has four nonhyperbolic equilibria for some parameter values, such as two saddle-node, a cusp, and a weak focus of multiplicity at most 4, and exhibits two saddle-node bifurcations, a Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation of codimension 2, and a Hopf bifurcation. It reveals that there exist some critical harvesting values such that the species are in danger of extinction when the harvesting rate is greater than the critical values, which indicates that the dynamics of the system are sensitive to the constant prey harvesting. Moreover, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.     

Bifurcation analysis of an SIRS epidemic model with standard incidence rate and saturated treatment function

An epidemic model with standard incidence rate and saturated treatment function of infectious individuals is proposed to understand the effect of the capacity for treatment of infective individuals on the disease spread. The treatment function in this paper is a continuous and differential function which exhibits the effect of delayed treatment when the rate of treatment is lower and the number of infected individuals is getting larger. It is proved that the existence and stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibria for the model are not only related to the basic reproduction number but also to the capacity for treatment of infective individuals. And a backward bifurcation is found when the capacity is not enough. By computing the first Lyapunov coefficient, we can determine the type of Hopf bifurcation, i.e., subcritical Hopf bifurcation or supercritical Hopf bifurcation. We also show that under some conditions the model undergoes Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation. Finally, numerical simulations are given to support some of the theoretical results.
