Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of an eco-epidemic model with a stage structure

In this paper, an eco-epidemiological model with a stage structure is considered.

We consider the dynamical behavior of a delayed two-coupled oscillator with excitatory-to-inhibitory connection. Some parameter regions are given for linear stability, absolute synchronization, and Hopf bifurcations by using the theory of functional differential equations. Conditions ensuring the stability and direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem.

Double Hopf bifurcation for van der Pol-Duffing oscillator with parametric delay feedback control

The stability and bifurcation of a van der Pol-Duffing oscillator with the delay feedback are investigated, in which the strength of feedback control is a nonlinear function of delay. A geometrical method in conjunction with an analytical method is developed to identify the critical values for stability switches and Hopf bifurcations. The Hopf bifurcation curves and multi-stable regions are obtained as two parameters vary. Some weak resonant and non-resonant double Hopf bifurcation phenomena are observed due to the vanishing of the real parts of two pairs of characteristic roots on the margins of the “death island” regions simultaneously. By applying the center manifold theory, the normal forms near the double Hopf bifurcation points, as well as classifications of local dynamics are analyzed. Furthermore, some quasi-periodic and chaotic motions are verified in both theoretical and numerical ways.     

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.

Bifurcation analysis and chaos control of the modified Chua’s circuit system

From the view of bifurcation and chaos control, the dynamics of modified Chua’s circuit system are investigated by a delayed feedback method. Firstly, the local stability of the equilibria is discussed by analyzing the distribution of the roots of associated characteristic equation. The regions of linear stability of equilibria are given. It is found that there exist Hopf bifurcation and Hopf-zero bifurcation when the delay passes though a sequence of critical values. By using the normal form method and the center manifold theory, we derive the explicit formulas for determining the direction and stability of Hopf bifurcation. Finally, chaotic oscillation is converted into a stable equilibrium or a stable periodic orbit by designing appropriate feedback strength and delay. Some numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytic results.

Controlling Hopf bifurcations of discrete-time systems in resonance

Resonance in Hopf bifurcation causes complicated bifurcation behaviors. To design with certain desired Hopf bifurcation characteristics in the resonance cases of discrete-time systems, a feedback control method is developed. The controller is designed with the aid of discrete-time washout filters. The control law is constructed according to the criticality and stability conditions of Hopf bifurcations as well as resonance constraints. The control gains associated with linear control terms insure the creation of a Hopf bifurcation in resonance cases and the control gains associated with nonlinear control terms determine the type and stability of bifurcated solutions. To derive the former, we propose the implicit criteria of eigenvalue assignment and transversality condition for creating the bifurcation in a desired parameter location. To derive the latter, the technique of the center manifold reduction, Iooss’s Hopf bifurcation theory and Wan’s Hopf bifurcation theory for resonance cases are employed. In numerical experiments, we show the Hopf circles and fixed points from the created Hopf bifurcations in the strong and weak resonance cases for a four-dimensional control system.

A formula for determining the direction bifurcation and stability of bifurcation periodic solutions is given by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Some numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical results are also provided.

Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis in a novel congestion control model with communication delay

In this paper, we investigated Hopf bifurcation by analyzing the distributed ranges of eigenvalues of characteristic linearized equation. Using communication delay as the bifurcation parameter, linear stability criteria dependent on communication delay have also been derived, and, furthermore, the direction of Hopf bifurcation as well as stability of periodic solution for the exponential RED algorithm with communication delay is studied. We find that the Hopf bifurcation occurs when the communication delay passes a sequence of critical values. The stability and direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Finally, a numerical simulation is presented to verify the theoretical results.     

Stability analysis in a diffusional immunosuppressive infection model with delayed antiviral immune response

In this paper, the diffusion is introduced to an immunosuppressive infection model with delayed antiviral immune response. The direction and stability of Hopf bifurcation are effected by time delay, in the absence of which the positive equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable by means of analyzing eigenvalue spectrum; however, when the time delay increases beyond a threshold, the positive equilibrium loses its stability via the Hopf bifurcation. The stability and direction of the Hopf bifurcation is investigated with the norm form and the center manifold theory. The stability of the Hopf bifurcation leads to the emergence of spatial spiral patterns. Numerical calculations are performed to illustrate our theoretical results.

Hopf bifurcation and chaos in a single delayed neuron equation with non-monotonic activation function

A simple neural network model with discrete time delay is investigated. The linear stability of this model is discussed by analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation.
