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 and Hopf bifurcation in a diffusive logistic population model with nonlocal delay effect

A reaction-diffusion model with logistic type growth, nonlocal delay effect and Dirichlet boundary condition is considered, and combined effect of the time delay and nonlocal spatial dispersal provides a more realistic way of modeling the complex spatiotemporal behavior. The stability of the positive spatially nonhomogeneous positive equilibrium and associated Hopf bifurcation are investigated for the case of near equilibrium bifurcation point and the case of spatially homogeneous dispersal kernel.     

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.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation for a competition and cooperation model of two enterprises with delay

In this paper, a retarded competition and cooperation model of two enterprises is investigated. We first prove that the existence of the unique positive equilibrium for the mentioned model. By choosing the delay $\tau$ as a bifurcation parameter, we show that Hopf bifurcation at the positive equilibrium of the system can occur as $\tau$ crosses some critical values. Further, using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem, we derive the explicit algorithm determining the direction of Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. Finally, some numerical simulations supporting our theoretical results and the economic meaning of model are also included.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation for a regulated logistic growth model with discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, we investigate the stability and Hopf bifurcation of a new regulated logistic growth with discrete and distributed delays. By choosing the discrete delay τ as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that the system is locally asymptotically stable in a range of the delay and Hopf bifurcation occurs as τ crosses a critical value. Furthermore, explicit algorithm for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived by normal form theorem and center manifold argument. Finally, an illustrative example is also given to support the theoretical results.

In this paper, the dynamics of a spruce-budworm model with delay is investigated. We show that there exists Hopf bifurcation at the positive equilibrium as the delay increases.

Hopf bifurcation analysis of a general non-linear differential equation with delay

This work represents Hopf bifurcation analysis of a general non-linear differential equation involving time delay. A special form of this equation is the Hutchinson–Wright equation which is a mile stone in the mathematical modeling of population dynamics and mathematical biology. Taking the delay parameter as a bifurcation parameter, Hopf bifurcation analysis is studied by following the theory in the book by Hazzard et al. By analyzing the associated characteristic polynomial, we determine necessary conditions for the linear stability and Hopf bifurcation. In addition to this analysis, the direction of bifurcation, the stability and the period of a periodic solution to this equation are evaluated at a bifurcation value by using the Poincaré normal form and the center manifold theorem. Finally, the theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations.     

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.

Some explicit formulae determining the stability and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcations are obtained by using the normal form theory and center manifold theory. Some numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical analysis are also provided. Finally, biological explanations and main conclusions are given.

Stability and instability of Liapunov-Schmidt and Hopf bifurcation for a free boundary problem arising in a tumor model

We consider a free boundary problem for a system of partial differential equations, which arises in a model of tumor growth. For any positive number there exists a radially symmetric stationary solution with free boundary . The system depends on a positive parameter , and for a sequence of values there also exist branches of symmetric-breaking stationary solutions, parameterized by , small, which bifurcate from these values. In particular, for near the free boundary has the form where is the spherical harmonic of mode .

Stability switch and Hopf bifurcation for a diffusive prey-predator system with delay

The increasing time delay usually destabilizes any dynamical system. In this paper we give an example that in some special cases the opposite effect can be experienced if the time delay is sufficiently great. We investigate the effect of both the parameter in the time delay kernel and diffusion coefficient on the stability of the positive steady state for a diffusive prey-predator system with delay. We obtain the condition of the occurrence of the stability switches of the positive steady state.     

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.

Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a modified delay predator-prey model with stage structure

In this paper, a modified delay predator-prey model with stage structure is established, which involves the economic factor and internal competition of all the prey and predator populations. By the methods of normal form and characteristic equation, we obtain the stability of the positive equilibrium point and the sufficient condition of the existence of Hopf bifurcation. We analyze the influence of the time delay on the equation and show the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation periodic solution. The simulation gives a visual understanding for the existence and direction of Hopf bifurcation of the model.
