Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.     

Stability and bifurcation analysis for a neural network model with discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, a two‐neuron network with both discrete and distributed delays is considered. With the corresponding characteristic equation analyzed, the local stability of the trivial equilibrium is investigated. With the discrete time delay taken as a bifurcation parameter, the existence of Hopf bifurcation is established. Moreover, formulae for determining the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are derived. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results and further to exhibit that there is a characteristic sequence of bifurcations leading to a chaotic dynamics, which implies that the system admits rich and complex dynamics.

Hopf bifurcation analysis in a multiple delayed innovation diffusion model with Holling II functional response

A nonlinear mathematical model with Holling II functional response describing the dynamics of nonadopter and adopters population in a stage structured innovation diffusion model, which incorporates the evaluation stage (multiple delays), is proposed. Firstly, we study the stability and the existence of periodic solutions via Hopf bifurcation with respect to both delays at the positive equilibrium by analyzing the distribution of the roots of the corresponding exponential characteristic equation obtained through the variational matrix. The direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are determined with the help of normal form theory and center manifold theorem. Meanwhile, various cases are discussed to examine the effect of different delays on the stability of delayed innovation diffusion system and are also established numerically. It is also observed that the cumulative density of external influences has a significant role in developing maturity stage (adoption stage) in the system. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to support and supplement the analytical findings.     

Stability and bifurcation in a discrete system of two neurons with delays

In this paper, we consider a simple discrete two-neuron network model with three delays. The characteristic equation of the linearized system at the zero solution is a polynomial equation involving very high order terms. We derive some sufficient and necessary conditions on the asymptotic stability of the zero solution. Regarding the eigenvalues of connection matrix as the bifurcation parameters, we also consider the existence of three types of bifurcations: Fold bifurcations, Flip bifurcations, and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations. The stability and direction of these three kinds of bifurcations are studied by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Our results are a very important generalization to the previous works in this field.     

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.     

Analysis of bifurcation in a system of n coupled oscillators with delays

A n-coupled BVP oscillators system with delays is considered. By choosing the delays as the bifurcating parameters, some results of the Hopf bifurcations occurring at the zero equilibrium as the delays increase are exhibited. Using the symmetric functional differential equation theories of Wu [Jianhong Wu, Symmetric functional differential equations and neural networks with memory, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 350 (12) (1998) 4799–4838], the multiple Hopf bifurcations are obtained, and their spatio-temporal patterns: mirror-reflecting waves, standing waves, and discrete waves are demonstrated. Finally, computer simulations are performed to illustrate the analytical results found.

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a nutrient-phytoplankton model with time delay

We proposed a nutrient-phytoplankton interaction model with a discrete and distributed time delay to provide a better understanding of phytoplankton growth dynamics and nutrient-phytoplankton oscillations induced by delay. Standard linear analysis indicated that delay can induce instability of a positive equilibrium via Hopf bifurcation. We derived the conditions guaranteeing the existence of Hopf bifurcation and tracked its direction and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. We also obtained the sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the unique positive steady state. Numerical analysis in the fully nonlinear regime showed that the stability of the positive equilibrium is sensitive to changes in delay values under select conditions. Numerical results were consistent with results predicted by linear analysis.     

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

We extend the Grodins model of human cardiovascular‐respiratory system with multiple blood transport time delays into a model with four threshold type state‐dependent delays, in order to investigate the asymptotic stability of carbon dioxide concentrations in the lung, brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue compartments. We show that the extended model can be transformed into a model with four discrete time delays and obtain sufficient conditions for local and global asymptotic stabilities of the extended model by constructing Lyapunov functionals.

Moreover, by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem, the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are obtained. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the obtained results.     

Stability prediction for milling process with multiple delays using an improved semi‐discretization method

Milling chatter leads to a poor surface finish, premature tool wear, and potential damage to the machine or tool. Thus, it is desirable to predict and avoid the onset of this instability. Considering that the stability of milling with variable pitch cutter or tool runout case is characterized by multiple delays, in this paper, an improved semi‐discretization method is proposed to predict the stability lobes for milling processes with multiple delays. Taking the variable pitch milling, for example, a comparisonwith prior methods is conducted to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach for the stability prediction both in low and high radial immersion ratios. In addition, the rate of convergence of the proposed method is also evaluated. The results show that the proposed method has high computational efficiency.

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a viral infection model with delayed immune response

In this paper, we study a viral infection model with an immunity time delay accounting for the time between the immune system touching antigenic stimulation and generating CTLs. By calculation, we derive two thresholds to determine the global dynamics of the model, i.e., the reproduction number for viral infection $R_{0}$ and for CTL immune response $R_{1}$. By analyzing the characteristic equation, the local stability of each feasible equilibrium is discussed. Furthermore, the existence of Hopf bifurcation at the CTL-activated infection equilibrium is also studied. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, we prove that when $R_{0}\leq1$, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; when $R_{0}>1$ and $R_{1}\leq1$, the CTL-inactivated infection equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; Numerical simulation is carried out to illustrate the main results in the end.

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.     

Complex dynamics in a prey predator system with multiple delays

The complex dynamics is explored in a prey predator system with multiple delays. Holling type-II functional response is assumed for prey dynamics. The predator dynamics is governed by modified Leslie-Gower scheme. The existence of periodic solutions via Hopf-bifurcation with respect to both delays are established. An algorithm is developed for drawing two-parametric bifurcation diagram with respect to two delays. The domain of stability with respect to τ₁ and τ₂ is thus obtained. The complex dynamical behavior of the system outside the domain of stability is evident from the exhaustive numerical simulation. Direction and stability of periodic solutions are also determined using normal form theory and center manifold argument.
