Stability and Hopf bifurcation in a predator–prey model with stage structure for the predator

A predator–prey system with stage structure for the predator and time delay due to the gestation of the predator is investigated. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of a positive equilibrium and two boundary equilibria of the system is discussed, respectively. Further, the existence of a Hopf bifurcation at the positive equilibrium is also studied. By using an iteration technique and comparison argument, respectively, sufficient conditions are derived for the global stability of the positive equilibrium and one of the boundary equilibria of the proposed system. As a result, the threshold is obtained for the permanence and extinction of the system. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results.     

Stability and bifurcations for the chronic state in Marchuk's model of an immune system

In the paper we present known and new results concerning stability and the Hopf bifurcation for the positive steady state describing a chronic disease in Marchuk's model of an immune system. We describe conditions guaranteeing local stability or instability of this state in a general case and for very strong immune system. We compare these results with the results known in the literature. We show that the positive steady state can be stable only for very specific parameter values. Stability analysis is illustrated by Mikhailov's hodographs and numerical simulations. Conditions for the Hopf bifurcation and stability of arising periodic orbit are also studied. These conditions are checked for arbitrary chosen realistic parameter values. Numerical examples of arising due to the Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions are presented.     

Global stability and the Hopf bifurcation for some class of delay differential equation

In this paper, we present an analysis for the class of delay differential equations with one discrete delay and the right‐hand side depending only on the past. We extend the results from paper by U. Fory? (Appl. Math. Lett. 2004; 17 (5):581–584), where the right‐hand side is a unimodal function. In the performed analysis, we state more general conditions for global stability of the positive steady state and propose some conditions for the stable Hopf bifurcation occurring when this steady state looses stability. We illustrate the analysis by biological examples coming from the population dynamics. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a nutrient-phytoplankton model with time delay

We proposed a nutrient-phytoplankton interaction model with a discrete and distributed time delay to provide a better understanding of phytoplankton growth dynamics and nutrient-phytoplankton oscillations induced by delay. Standard linear analysis indicated that delay can induce instability of a positive equilibrium via Hopf bifurcation. We derived the conditions guaranteeing the existence of Hopf bifurcation and tracked its direction and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. We also obtained the sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the unique positive steady state. Numerical analysis in the fully nonlinear regime showed that the stability of the positive equilibrium is sensitive to changes in delay values under select conditions. Numerical results were consistent with results predicted by linear analysis.     

Local and global Hopf bifurcation in a neutral population model with age structure

In this paper, an age‐structured population model with the form of neutral functional differential equation is studied. We discuss the stability of the positive equilibrium by analyzing the characteristic equation. Local Hopf bifurcation results are also obtained by choosing the mature delay as bifurcation parameter. On the center manifold, the normal form of the Hopf bifurcation is derived, and explicit formulae for determining the criticality of bifurcation are theoretically given. Moreover, the global continuation of Hopf bifurcating periodic solutions is investigated by using the global Hopf bifurcation theory of neutral equations. Finally, some numerical examples are carried out to support the main results.

Stochastic stability for Markovian jump linear systems associated with a finite number of jump times

This paper deals with a stochastic stability concept for discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems. The random jump parameter is associated to changes between the system operation modes due to failures or repairs, which can be well described by an underlying finite-state Markov chain. In the model studied, a fixed number of failures or repairs is allowed, after which, the system is brought to a halt for maintenance or for replacement. The usual concepts of stochastic stability are related to pure infinite horizon problems, and are not appropriate in this scenario. A new stability concept is introduced, named stochastic τ-stability that is tailored to the present setting. Necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure the stochastic τ-stability are provided, and the almost sure stability concept associated with this class of processes is also addressed. The paper also develops equivalences among second order concepts that parallels the results for infinite horizon problems.     

Stability and backward bifurcation on a cholera epidemic model with saturated recovery rate

In this paper, a cholera epidemic model with saturated recovery rate is studied. Backward bifurcation leading to bistability possibly occurs, and global dynamics are shown by compound matrices and geometric approaches. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results. Our results suggest that the basic reproduction number itself is not enough to describe whether cholera will prevail or not when the resources for treatment of infectives are limited and suggest that we should pay more attention to the initial state of cholera.

Stability and bifurcation analysis in a viral model with delay

In this paper, we consider a three‐dimensional viral model with delay. We first investigate the linear stability and the existence of a Hopf bifurcation. It is shown that Hopf bifurcations occur as the delay τ passes through a sequence of critical values. Then, using the normal form theory and center manifold reduction, we derive the explicit formulaes that determine the stability, the direction, and the period of bifurcating periodic solutions. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the validity of the main results. Finally, some brief conclusions are given. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The existence and stability of steady states for a prey-predator system with cross diffusion of quasilinear fractional type

This paper is concerned with the existence and stability of steady states for a prey-predator system with cross diffusion of quasilineax fractional type. We obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of positive steady state solutions by applying bifurcation theory and a detailed priori estimate. In virtue of the principle of exchange of stability, we prove the stability of local bifurcating solutions near the bifurcation point.     

Global bifurcation of solutions for a predator–prey model with prey‐taxis

We study pattern formations in a predator–prey model with prey‐taxis. It is proved that a branch of nonconstant solutions can bifurcate from the positive equilibrium only when the chemotactic is repulsive. Furthermore, we find the stable bifurcating solutions near the bifurcation point under suitable conditions. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Neimark-Sacker bifurcation and chaos control in Hassell-Varley model

We investigate the complex behaviour of a modified Nicholson–Bailey model. The modification is proposed by Hassel and Varley taking into account that interaction between parasitoids is taken in such a way that the searching area per parasitoid is inversely proportional to the m-th power of the population density of parasitoids. Under certain parametric conditions the unique positive equilibrium point of system is locally asymptotically stable. Moreover, it is proved that system undergoes Neimark-Sacker bifurcation for small range of parameters by using standard mathematical techniques of bifurcation theory. In order to control Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, we apply simple feedback control strategy and pole-placement technique which is a modification of OGY method. Moreover, the hybrid control methodology is also implemented for chaos controlling. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate theoretical discussion.

Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a diffusive predator‐prey model with hyperbolic mortality

The dynamics of a reaction‐diffusion predator‐prey model with hyperbolic mortality and Holling type II response effect is considered. The stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated by analyzing the distribution of eigenvalues without diffusion. We also study the spatially homogeneous and nonhomogeneous periodic solutions through all parameters of the system which are spatially homogeneous. To verify our theoretical results, some numerical simulations are also presented. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 34–43, 2016     

Global stability and Hopf bifurcation of a delayed eco‐epidemiological model with Holling type II functional response

In this paper, a delayed eco‐epidemiological model with Holling type II functional response is investigated. By analyzing corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of each of the feasible equilibria and the existence of Hopf bifurcations at the disease‐free equilibrium, the susceptible predator‐free equilibrium and the endemic‐coexistence equilibrium are established, respectively. By means of Lyapunov functionals and LaSalle's invariance principle, sufficient conditions are derived for the global stability of the endemic‐coexistence equilibrium, the disease‐free equilibrium, the susceptible predator‐free equilibrium and the predator‐extinction equilibrium of the system, respectively. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the existence and stability of a unique almost periodic solution of Schoener’s competition model with pure-delays and impulsive effects

In this paper, we consider an almost periodic Schoener’s competition model with delays and impulsive effects. Sufficient conditions which guarantee the permanence of the model and the existence of a unique uniformly asymptotically stable positive almost periodic solution are obtained. The result of this paper is completely new. An suitable example is employed to illustrate the feasibility of the main results.     

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a viral infection model with delayed immune response

In this paper, we study a viral infection model with an immunity time delay accounting for the time between the immune system touching antigenic stimulation and generating CTLs. By calculation, we derive two thresholds to determine the global dynamics of the model, i.e., the reproduction number for viral infection $R_{0}$ and for CTL immune response $R_{1}$. By analyzing the characteristic equation, the local stability of each feasible equilibrium is discussed. Furthermore, the existence of Hopf bifurcation at the CTL-activated infection equilibrium is also studied. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, we prove that when $R_{0}\leq1$, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; when $R_{0}>1$ and $R_{1}\leq1$, the CTL-inactivated infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; Numerical simulation is carried out to illustrate the main results in the end.     

Markowitz’s model with Euclidean vector spaces

In this paper a new approach of the Markowitz’s model is presented. Indeed, using an inner product, a quantitative and explicit solution for optimal portfolio selection is given. To do this, a scalar product is defined in Rⁿ${\mathfrak{R}}^n$ which allows us to calculate the composition of the optimal portfolio and the variance for a given expected return by means of the distance between the subspace of feasible solutions and the origin of the affine space.
