Delayed feedback on the dynamical model of a financial system

We investigate the effect of delayed feedbacks on the financial model, which describes the time variation of the interest rate, the investment demand, and the price index, for establishing the fiscal policy. By local stability analysis, we theoretically prove the occurrences of Hopf bifurcation. Through numerical bifurcation analysis, we obtain the supercritical and subcritical Hopf bifurcation curves which support the theoretical predictions. Moreover, the fold limit cycle and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation curves are detected. We also confirm that the double Hopf and generalized Hopf codimension-2 bifurcation points exist.     

Improved,black-box,non-malleable encryption from semantic security

We give a new black-box transformation from any semantically secure encryption scheme into a non-malleable one which has a better rate than the best previous work of Coretti et al. (in: Kushilevitz and Malkin (eds) TCC 2016-A, Part I, Springer, Heidelberg, 2016). We achieve a better rate by departing from the “matrix encoding” methodology used by previous constructions, and working directly with a single codeword. We also use a Shamir secret-share packing technique to improve the rate of the underlying error-correcting code.     

Bifurcation analysis of the motion of a cylinder and a point vortex in an ideal fluid

We consider an integrable Hamiltonian system describing the motion of a circular cylinder and a vortex filament in an ideal fluid. We construct bifurcation diagrams and bifurcation complexes for the case in which the integral manifold is compact and for various topological structures of the symplectic leaf. The types of motions corresponding to the bifurcation curves and their stability are discussed.     

Locating and counting bifurcation points of satellite components from the main component in the degree-n bifurcation set

The bifurcation point where a satellite component buds from another component is characterized by the existence of the common tangent line between the two osculating components appearing in the degree-n bifurcation set. We investigate the existence, location and number of bifurcation points for satellite components budding from the main component in the degree-n bifurcation set as well as a parametric boundary equation of the main component of the degree-n bifurcation set. Cusp points are also located on the boundary of the main component. Typical degree-n bifurcation sets and their components are illustrated with some computational results.     

Stability analysis for a nonlinear model of a hydraulic servomechanism in a servoelastic framework

The effects of mounting structure stiffness on mechano-hydraulic servomechanisms actuating aircraft primary flight controls are modeled by a six-dimensional nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. Stability analysis of equilibria reveals the presence of a critical case that is handled through the use of the Lyapunov–Malkin theorem. Stability charts are drawn using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion for the stability of a fifth-degree polynomial. Comparison with previous results shows how the stability of equilibria can be ensured exploiting the positive influence of structural feedback.     

Bifurcation and invariant manifolds of the logistic competition model

In this paper, we study a new logistic competition model. We will investigate stability and bifurcation of the model. In particular, we compute the invariant manifolds, including the important centre manifolds, and study their bifurcation. Saddle-node and period-doubling bifurcation route to chaos are exhibited via numerical simulations.     

Bifurcations and complex dynamics of an SIR model with the impact of the number of hospital beds

In this paper we establish an SIR model with a standard incidence rate and a nonlinear recovery rate, formulated to consider the impact of available resource of the public health system especially the number of hospital beds. For the three dimensional model with total population regulated by both demographics and diseases incidence, we prove that the model can undergo backward bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation and cusp type of Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation of codimension 3. We present the bifurcation diagram near the cusp type of Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation point of codimension 3 and give epidemiological interpretation of the complex dynamical behaviors of endemic due to the variation of the number of hospital beds. This study suggests that maintaining enough number of hospital beds is crucial for the control of the infectious diseases.     

On stationary solutions of a nonlinear system of reactor dynamic equations with distributed parameters

We analyze a nonlinear stationary model of reactor dynamics with distributed parameters. We find sufficient conditions for the existence of bifurcation points in this system and study the behavior of solutions in a neighborhood of the bifurcation points. We prove the existence of countably many bifurcation points in the case of a homogeneous medium and obtain constructive estimates for the distance between the bifurcation points.     

On the Number of Unbounded Solution Branches in a Neighborhood of an Asymptotic Bifurcation Point

We suggest a method for studying asymptotically linear vector fields with a parameter. The method permits one to prove theorems on asymptotic bifurcation points (bifurcation points at infinity) for the case of double degeneration of the principal linear part. We single out a class of fields that have more than two unbounded branches of singular points in a neighborhood of a bifurcation point. Some applications of the general theorems to bifurcations of periodic solutions and subharmonics as well as to the two-point boundary value problem are given.

On an integral equation in the theory of phase transitions for a system of magnetic rods

We study a nonlinear integral equation for the orientational distribution function (ODF) describing anisotropic nematic ordering in a system of magnetic rods. For highly elongated rods, we give a classification of bifurcation points and find their asymptotic behavior in the limits of small and large magnetic moments of the rods. We develop an algorithm to construct a nearly-isotropic ODF in the vicinity of the bifurcation point. We show that for both small and large magnetic moments, the ODF obtained has a left direction of bifurcation. However, for intermediate values of the magnetic moments, solutions with a right direction of bifurcation exist along with those with the left direction.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 109, No. 3, pp. 427–440, December, 1996.     

Global topological properties of the Hopf bifurcation

We study the homotopical and homological properties of the attractors evolving from a generalized Hopf bifurcation. We consider the Lorenz equations for parameter values near the Hopf bifurcation and study a natural Morse decomposition of the global attractor, calculating the Čech homotopy type of the Lorenz attractor, the shape indexes of the Morse sets and the Morse equation of the decomposition.     

Mathematics of the Genome

This work gives a mathematical foundation for bifurcation from a stable equilibrium in the genome. We construct idealized dynamics associated with the genome. For this dynamics, we investigate the two main bifurcations from a stable equilibrium. Finally, we give mathematical proofs of existence and points of bifurcation for the repressilator and the toggle gene circuits.     

Noise-induced changes to the behaviour of semi-implicit Euler methods for stochastic delay differential equations undergoing bifurcation

We are concerned with estimating parameter values at which bifurcations occur in stochastic delay differential equations. After a brief review of bifurcation, we employ a numerical approach and consider how bifurcation values are influenced by the choice of numerical scheme and the step length and by the level of white noise present in the equation. In this paper we provide a formulaic relationship between the estimated bifurcation value, the level of noise, the choice of numerical scheme and the step length. We are able to show that in the presence of noise there may be some loss of order in the accuracy of the approximation to the true bifurcation value compared to the use of the same approach in the absence of noise.     

An analysis of the complex dynamic behaviour of nonlinear oligopoly models with time delays

We consider the fate of output in the Cournot oligopoly model when the equilibrium is locally unstable. We discuss types of nonlinearities which may be present to bound the motion and introduce time lags in production and information which serve as bifurcation parameters. We apply the Hopf bifurcation theorem to determine conditions under which limit cycle motion is born, and use computer simulations to investigate the nature of the attractors generated by such models.     

Generic bifurcation with application to the von Kármán equations

We examine the possible types of generic bifurcation than can occur for a three-parameter family of mappings from a Banach space into itself. Specifically, the general form of the bifurcation equations arising from the von Kármán equations for the buckling of a rectangular plate is investigated. Chow, Hale, and Mallet-Paret (Applications of generic bifurcation. II, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal.67 (1976)) studied the bifurcation of solutions to these equations in a two-parameter setting. These parameters were related to the normal loading and to the compressive thrust applied at the ends of the plate. We introduce a third bifurcation parameter by considering the length of the plate as variable. The generic hypotheses of Chow et al. no longer apply in this three-parameter setting, but modifications and extensions of these hypotheses permit a characterization of the three-parameter bifurcation diagram. The bifurcation sheets of this diagram appear as a natural generalization of the finite collection of arcs comprising the two-parameter diagram. As an example of this theory, an actual three-parameter bifurcation diagram is constructed for a specific form of the von Kármán equations.     

Example of a quadratic system with two cycles appearing in a homoclinic loop bifurcation

We give here a planar quadratic differential system depending on two parameters, λ, δ. There is a curve in the λ-δ space corresponding to a homoclinic loop bifurcation (HLB). The bifurcation is degenerate at one point of the curve and we get a narrow tongue in which we have two limit cycles. This is the first example of such a bifurcation in planar quadratic differential systems. We propose also a model for the bifurcation diagram of a system with two limit cycles appearing at a singular point from a degenerate Hopf bifurcation, and dying in a degenerate HLB. This model shows a deep duality between degenerate Hopf bifurcations and degenerate HLBs. We give a bound for the maximal number of cycles that can appear in certain simultaneous Hopf and homoclinic loop bifurcations. We also give an example of quadratic system depending on three parameters which has at one place a degenerate Hopf bifurcation of order 3, and at another place a Hopf bifurcation of order 2 together with a HLB. We characterize the planar quadratic systems which are integrable in the neighbourhood of a homoclinic loop.     

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.     

The local bifurcation and stability of nontrivial steady states of a logistic type of chemotaxis

Chemotaxis is a type of oriented movement of cells in response to the concentration gradient of chemical substances in their environment. We consider local existence and stability of nontrivial steady states of a logistic type of chemotaxis. We carry out the bifurcation theory to obtain the local existence of the steady state and apply the expansion method on the chemotaxis to investigate the bifurcation direction. Moreover, by applying the bifurcation direction, we obtain the bifurcating steady state is stable when the bifurcation curve turns to right under certain conditions.
