Exchange of stability and finite-dimensional dynamics in a bifurcation problem with marginally stable continuous spectrum

We consider solutions bifurcating from a spatially homogeneous equilibrium under the assumption that the associated linearization possesses continuous spectrum up to the imaginary axis, for all values of the bifurcation parameter, and that a real eigenvalue crosses the imaginary axis. For a model we investigate the nonlinear stability of the trivial solution with respect to spatially localized perturbations, prove the occurrence of a pitchfork bifurcation of equilibria and the nonlinear stability of the bifurcating equilibria, again with respect to spatially localized perturbations.

Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a delayed reaction–diffusion neural network

In this paper, a delayed reaction–diffusion neural network with Neumann boundary conditions is investigated. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of the trivial uniform steady state is discussed.

Using the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction of partial function differential equations, explicit formulae are derived to determine the direction and stability of bifurcating periodic solutions.

Bifurcation and stability results for an equation arising in population genetics

Summary We consider a semilinear elliptic boundary value problem, which arises in population genetics. Although there is no obvious corresponding linearized problem, we establish, by using Implicit Function Theorem methods, necessary and sufficient conditions forbifurcation to occur from a branch of trivial solutions. The stability of the bifurcating solutions is also investigated.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural network with diffusion

In this paper, a delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural network with diffusion under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions is investigated. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation, the local stability of the trivial uniform steady state and the existence of Hopf bifurcation at the trivial steady state are established, respectively. By using the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction of partial function differential equations, formulae are derived to determine the direction of bifurcations and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Bifurcation and stability of a two-species reaction–diffusion–advection competition model

This paper is concerned with the dynamics of a two-species reaction–diffusion–advection competition model subject to the no-flux boundary condition in a bounded domain. By the signs of the associated principal eigenvalues, we derive the existence and local stability of the trivial and semi-trivial steady-state solutions. Moreover, the nonexistence and existence of the coexistence steady-state solutions stemming from the two boundary steady states are obtained as well. In particular, we describe the feature of the coincidence of bifurcating coexistence steady-state solution branches. At the same time, the effect of advection on the stability of the bifurcating solution is also investigated, and our results suggest that the advection term may change the stability. Finally, we point out that the methods we applied here are mainly based on spectral analysis, perturbation theory, comparison principle, monotone theory, Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction, and bifurcation theory.     

Global topological perturbations of nonlinear elliptic eigenvalue problems

This paper is concerned with bifurcation from infinity for nonlinear elliptic equations, which are not necessarily linearizable at infinity. The methods employed are global perturbation techniques by means of which one obtains access to continua of positive solutions bifurcating from infinity via continua bifurcating from trivial solutions.     

Stability and bifurcation analysis for a neural network model with discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, a two‐neuron network with both discrete and distributed delays is considered. With the corresponding characteristic equation analyzed, the local stability of the trivial equilibrium is investigated. With the discrete time delay taken as a bifurcation parameter, the existence of Hopf bifurcation is established. Moreover, formulae for determining the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are derived. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results and further to exhibit that there is a characteristic sequence of bifurcations leading to a chaotic dynamics, which implies that the system admits rich and complex dynamics.

Hopf bifurcation for neutral functional differential equations

In this paper, we extend the computation of the properties of Hopf bifurcation, such as the direction of bifurcation and stability of bifurcating periodic solutions, of DDE introduced by Kazarinoff et al. [N.D. Kazarinoff, P. van den Driessche, Y.H. Wan, Hopf bifurcation and stability of periodic solutions of differential–difference and integro-differential equations, J. Inst. Math. Appl. 21 (1978) 461–477] to a kind of neutral functional differential equation (NFDE). As an example, a neutral delay logistic differential equation is considered, and the explicit formulas for determining the direction of bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are derived. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytic results.     

Dynamics of a congestion control model in a wireless access network

In this paper, a congestion control algorithm with heterogeneous delays in a wireless access network is considered. We regard the communication time delay as a bifurcating parameter to study the dynamical behaviors, i.e., local asymptotical stability, Hopf bifurcation and resonant codimension-two bifurcation. By analyzing the associated characteristic equation, the Hopf bifurcation occurs when the delay passes through a sequence of critical value. Furthermore, the direction and stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are derived by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. In the meantime, the resonant codimension-two bifurcation is also found in this model. Some numerical examples are finally performed to verify the theoretical results.     

Stability Switches, Hopf Bifurcations, and Spatio-temporal Patterns in a Delayed Neural Model with Bidirectional Coupling

The dynamical behavior of a delayed neural network with bi-directional coupling is investigated by taking the delay as the bifurcating parameter. Some parameter regions are given for conditional/absolute stability and Hopf bifurcations by using the theory of functional differential equations. As the propagation time delay in the coupling varies, stability switches for the trivial solution are found. Conditions ensuring the stability and direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. We also discuss the spatio-temporal patterns of bifurcating periodic oscillations by using the symmetric bifurcation theory of delay differential equations combined with representation theory of Lie groups. In particular, we obtain that the spatio-temporal patterns of bifurcating periodic oscillations will alternate according to the change of the propagation time delay in the coupling, i.e., different ranges of delays correspond to different patterns of neural activities. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the obtained results and show the existence of bursts in some interval of the time for large enough delay.

Hopf bifurcation in a three-species system with delays

A kind of three-species system with Holling II functional response and two delays is introduced. Its local stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are demonstrated by analyzing the associated characteristic equation. By using the normal form method and center manifold theorem, explicit formulas to determine the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solution are also obtained. In addition, the global existence results of periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcations are established by using a global Hopf bifurcation result. Numerical simulation results are also given to support our theoretical predictions.

Some explicit formulae determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are derived by using the normal form method and the center manifold theory. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to support the theoretical analysis.
