Hopf bifurcation of a bacteria-immunity system with delayed quorum sensing

On the basis of Zhang’s model (see [P. Fergola, J. Zhang, M. Cerasuolo, Z.E. Ma, On the influence of quorum sensing in the competition between bacteria and immune system of invertebrates, in: Collective Dynamic: Topics on Competition and Cooperation in the Biosciences: A Selection of Papers in the Proceedings of the BIOCOMP2007 International Conference, AIP Conference Proceedings, vol. 1028, 2008, pp. 215-232] for more details), we formulate a bacteria-immunity model to describe the competition between bacteria and immune cells with bacterial quorum sensing mechanism. A time delay is introduced to characterize the time in which bacteria receive signal molecules and then combat with immune cells. Subsequently, the length of delay which preserves the stability of the positive equilibrium is estimated and Hopf bifurcation occurs when time delay crosses through a critical value are researched. Further, by using the normal form theory and center manifold theory, the explicit formulaes are calculated which determine the stability, the direction and the period of bifurcating periodical solutions. Finally, numerical simulations are employed to verify the mathematical conclusions.     

A bacteria-immunity system with delayed quorum sensing

Considering the mechanism of quorum sensing, we formulate a bacteria-immunity model to describe the competition between bacteria and immune cells on the basis of Zhang’s model (see Zhang et al. 2008, to appear, for more details). A distributed delay is introduced to characterize the time in which bacteria receive signal molecules and then combat with immune cells. We analyze the stability of the equilibrium points and discuss the existence of Hopf bifurcation near the positive equilibrium point. Finally, numerical simulation is carried out to illustrate our qualitative results.     

Analysis of a bacteria-immunity model with delay quorum sensing

A bacteria-immunity model with bacterial quorum sensing is formulated, which describes the competition between bacteria and immune cells. A distributed delay is introduced to characterize the time in which bacteria receive signal molecules and then combat with immune cells. In this paper, we focus on a subsystem of the bacteria-immunity model, analyze the stability of the equilibrium points, discuss the existence and stability of periodic solutions bifurcated from the positive equilibrium point, and finally investigate the stability of the nonhyperbolic equilibrium point by the center manifold theorem.     

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.

Double Hopf bifurcation and chaos in Liu system with delayed feedback

In this paper, we consider the stability of equilibria, Hopf and double Hopf bifurcation in Liu system with delay feedback. Firstly, we identify the critical values for stability switches and Hopf bifurcationusing the method of bifurcation analysis. When we choose appropriate feedback strength and delay, two symmetrical nontrivial equilibria of Liusystem can be controlled to be stable at the same time, and the stable bifurcating periodic solutions occur in the neighborhood of the two equilibria at the same time. Secondly, by applying the normal form method and center manifold theory,the normal form near the double Hopf bifurcation, as well as classifications of local dynamics are analyzed. Furthermore, we give the bifurcation diagram to illustrate numerically that a family of stable periodic solutions bifurcated from Hopf bifurcation occur in a large region of delay and the Liu system with delay can appear the phenomenon of ``chaos switchover''.     

Local Hopf bifurcation and global periodic solutions in a delayed predator-prey system

We consider a delayed predator-prey system. We first consider the existence of local Hopf bifurcations, and then derive explicit formulas which enable us to determine the stability and the direction of periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcations, using the normal form theory and center manifold argument. Special attention is paid to the global existence of periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcations. By using a global Hopf bifurcation result due to Wu [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 350 (1998) 4799], we show that the local Hopf bifurcation implies the global Hopf bifurcation after the second critical value of delay. Finally, several numerical simulations supporting the theoretical analysis are also given.

By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the conditions for the local stability and existence of Hopf bifurcation for the system are obtained, respectively. By utilizing normal form method and center manifold theorem, the explicit formulas which determine the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating period solutions are derived. Finally, numerical simulations supporting the theoretical analysis are given.     

Hopf bifurcation in a delayed Lokta–Volterra predator–prey system

In this paper, we consider a delayed Lotka–Volterra predator–prey system with a single delay. By regarding the delay as the bifurcation parameter and analyzing the characteristic equation of the linearized system of the original system at the positive equilibrium, the linear stability of the system is investigated and Hopf bifurcations are demonstrated. In particular, the formulae determining the direction of the bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are given by using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem. Finally, numerical simulations supporting our theoretical results are also included.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a delayed predator-prey system with nonlocal competition and herd behaviour

In this paper, we investigate the stability and Hopf bifurcation of a diffusive predator-prey system with herd behaviour. The model is described by introducing both time delay and nonlocal prey intraspecific competition. Compared to the model without time delay, or without nonlocal competition, thanks to the together action of time delay and nonlocal competition, we prove that the first critical value of Hopf bifurcation may be homogenous or non-homogeneous. We also show that a double-Hopf bifurcation occurs at the intersection point of the homogenous and non-homogeneous Hopf bifurcation curves. Furthermore, by the computation of normal forms for the system near equilibria, we investigate the stability and direction of Hopf bifurcation. Numerical simulations also show that the spatially homogeneous and non-homogeneous periodic patters.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of novel hyperchaotic system with delayed feedback control

In this article, a novel four dimensional autonomous nonlinear systezm called hyperchaotic Rikitake system is proposed. Basic properties of the new system are investigated and the complex dynamical behaviors, such as time series, bifurcation diagram, and Lyapunov exponents are analyzed by dynamic analysis approaches. To control the new hyperchaotic system, the delayed feedback control is introduced. Regarding the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, stability and bifurcations with respect to time delay are investigated. Conditions assuring the existence of Hopf bifurcation and the distribution of roots to the associated characteristic equation are investigated by utilizing the polynomial theorem. Besides, the Hopf bifurcation is proved to occur when the bifurcation parameter (time delay) crosses through derived critical value. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to prove the consistence with the derived theoretical results. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 180–193, 2016     

Hopf bifurcation analysis in a delayed Nicholson blowflies equation

The dynamics of a Nicholson's blowflies equation with a finite delay are investigated. We prove that a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occur at the positive equilibrium as the delay increases.

Global existence of periodic solutions are established using a global Hopf bifurcation result of Wu (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 350 (1998) 4799), and a Bendixson criterion for higher dimensional ordinary differential equations due to Li and Muldowney (J. Differential Equations 106 (1994) 27).     

Hopf bifurcation in a control system for the Washout filter-based delayed neural equation

Washout filter is a simple filter that can be designed easily. In this paper, a system for controlling a neural equation with discrete time delay based on Washout filter is presented. The transcendental equation of the corresponding linearized system is analyzed. In this control system, it is found that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the control parameters are chosen properly and that a chaotic orbit can be controlled to a stable periodic solution. The stability condition for bifurcating periodic solutions and the direction of Hopf bifurcation are studied by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Some numerical results are also presented to illustrate the correctness of our results.

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.     

Hopf bifurcation of a nonlinear delayed system of machine tool vibration via pseudo-oscillator analysis

On the basis of the newly developed pseudo-oscillator analysis, the local dynamics near a Hopf bifurcation of a nonlinear delayed system of machine tool vibration is investigated in this paper. Starting from a pseudo-oscillator that is slightly perturbed from an undamped oscillator, the pseudo-oscillator analysis shows that near the Hopf bifurcation, the local dynamics can be justified simply by the properties of the averaged pseudo-power function. Unlike the widely used approaches such as the center manifold reduction, the pseudo-oscillator analysis involves very easy computation and gives prediction of the local dynamics with high accuracy.
