Stability and bifurcation in a non-kolmogorov type prey-predator system with time delay

The purpose of this paper is to study a non-Kolmogrov type prey-predator system. First, we investigate the linear stability of the model by analyzing the associated characteristic equation of the linearized system. Second, we show that the system exhibits the Hopf bifurcation. The stability and direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the norm form theory and center manifold theorem. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the obtained results.     

Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation in a delayed Michaelis-Menten type ratio-dependent predator-prey system with prey harvesting

In this paper, we study a delayed Michaelis-Menten Type ratio-dependent predator-prey model with prey harvesting. By considering the characteristic equation associated with the nonhyperbolic equilibrium, the critical value of the parameters for the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation is obtained. The conditions for the characteristic equation having negative real parts are discussed. Using the normal form theory of Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation for retarded functional differential equations, the corresponding normal form restricted to the associated two-dimensional center manifold is calculated and the versal unfolding is considered. The parameter conditions for saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation and homoclinic bifurcation are obtained. Numerical simulations are given to support the analytical results.     

Stability and bifurcation in a diffusive prey-predator system: Non-linear bifurcation analysis

A stability analysis of a non-linear prey-predator system under the influence of one dimensional diffusion has been investigated to determine the nature of the bifurcation point of the system. The non-liner bifurcation analysis determining the steady state solution beyond the critical point enables us to determine characteristic features of the spatial inhomogeneous pattern arising out of the bifurcation of the state of the system.     

Hopf bifurcation in a predator-prey system with Holling type III functional response and time delays

This paper is concerned with a delayed predator-prey system with modified Leslie-Gower and Holling type III schemes. By analyzing the associated characteristic equation, its local stability and the existence of periodic solutions via Hopf bifurcation with respect to both delays are obtained. Based on the normal form method and center manifold theorem, the formulaes for determining the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are derived. Finally, some numerical simulations to illustrate the theoretical analysis are also carried out.     

Global analysis of the shadow Gierer-Meinhardt system with general linear boundary conditions in a random environment

The global analysis of the shadow Gierer-Meinhardt system with multiplicative white noise and general linear boundary conditions is investigated in this paper. For this reaction-diffusion system, we employ a fixed point argument to prove local existence and uniqueness. Our results on global existence are based on \emph{a priori} estimates of solutions.     

Poincaré bifurcation of a three-dimensional system

Consider a three-dimensional system having an invariant surface. By using bifurcation techniques and analyzing the solutions of bifurcation equations, we study the spatial bifurcation phenomena near a family of periodic orbits and a center in the invariant surface respectively. New formula of Melnikov function is derived and sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic orbits are obtained. An application of our results to a modified van der Pol–Duffing electronic circuit is given.     

Turing bifurcation in a system with cross diffusion

This paper treats the conditions for the existence and stability properties of stationary solutions of reaction–diffusion equations subject to Neumann boundary data. Hence, we assume that there are two substances in a two-dimensional bounded spatial domain where they are diffusing according to Fick's law: the velocity of the flow of diffusing substance is directed opposite to the (spatial) gradient of the density and is proportional to its modulus, but the spatial flow of each substance is influenced not only by its own but also by the other one's density (cross diffusion). The domains in which the substances are diffusing are of three type: a regular hexagon, a rectangle and an isosceles rectangular triangle. It will be assumed that there is no migration across the boundary of these domains. Considering one of the relevant features of the domains as a bifurcation parameter it will be shown that at a certain critical value a diffusion driven (Turing type) instability occurs, i.e. the stationary solution stays stable with respect to the kinetic system (the system without diffusion) but becomes unstable with respect to the system with diffusion and that Turing bifurcation takes place: a spatially non-homogenous (non-constant) solution (structure or pattern) arises.     

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.     

Transition to chaos in a lorenz system via a complete double homoclinic bifurcation cascade

For the Lorenz system of equations we prove the existence of a complete double homoclinic attractor and determine the region in the parameter space where this attractor is observed. A scenario is proposed illustrating the transition to chaos in a Lorenz system via a complete double homoclinic bifurcation cascade, which produces a complete double homoclinic attractor in general different from the Lorenz attractor.Translated from Nelineinaya Dinamika i Upravlenie, No. 2, pp. 179–194, 2002.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis of a predator-prey system with Holling type IV functional response and time delay

This paper is concerned with a predator-prey system with Holling type IV functional response and time delay. Our aim is to investigate how the time delay affects the dynamics of the predator-prey system. By choosing the delay as a bifurcation parameter, the local asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium and existence of local Hopf bifurcations are analyzed. Based on the normal form and the center manifold theory, the formulaes for determining the properties of Hopf bifurcation of the predator-prey system are derived. Finally, to support these theoretical results, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the results.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis of a reaction-diffusion Sel'kov system

A reaction-diffusion system known as the Sel'kov model subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition is investigated, where detailed Hopf bifurcation analysis is performed. We not only show the existence of the spatially homogeneous/non-homogeneous periodic solutions of the system, but also derive conditions for determining the bifurcation direction and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solution.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis in a delayed human respiratory system

This paper considers a delayed human respiratory model. By choosing time delay as a parameter, the stability of the equilibrium of the model is investigated and the conditions which guarantee the existence of local and global Hopf bifurcation are derived. Finally, these results are illustrated by numerical simulations of a specific version of the system.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation in a delayed competition system

In this paper, Hopf bifurcation for two-species Lotka–Volterra competition systems with delay dependence is investigated. By choosing the delay as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that the system is stable over a range of the delay and beyond that it is unstable in the limit cycle form, i.e., there are periodic solutions bifurcating out from the positive equilibrium. Our results show that a stable competition system can be destabilized by the introduction of a maturation delay parameter. Further, an explicit algorithm for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived by using the theory of normal forms and center manifolds, and numerical simulations supporting the theoretical analysis are also given.     

Hopf bifurcation in an hexagonal governor system with a spring

The complex dynamical behaviors of the hexagonal governor system with a spring are studied in this paper. We go deeper investigating the stability of the equilibrium points in the hexagonal governor system with a spring. These systems have a rich variety of nonlinear behaviors, which are investigated here by numerically integrating the Lagrangian equations of motion. A tiny change in parameters can lead to an enormous difference in the long-term behavior of the system. Hyperchaotic behavior is also observed in cases where two of the Lyapunov exponents are positive, one is zero, and one is negative. The routes to chaos are analyzed using Poincaré maps, which are found to be more complicated than those of nonlinear rotational machines. Periodic and chaotic motions can be clearly distinguished by all of the analytical tools applied here, namely Poincaré sections, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents, and Lyapunov dimensions. By studying numerical simulations, it is possible to provide reliable theory and effective numerical method for other systems.     

Controlling Hopf bifurcation and chaos in a small power system

For the power systems, the stabilization and tracking of voltage collapse trajectory, which involves severe nonlinear and nonstationary (unstable) features, is somewhat difficult to achieve. In this paper, we choose a widely used three-bus power system to be our case study. The study shows that the system experiences a Hopf bifurcation point (subcritical point) leads to chaos throughout period-doubling route. A model-based control strategy based on global state feedback linearization (GLC) is applied to the power system to control the chaotic behavior. The performance of GLC is compared with that for a nonlinear state feedback control.
