Synchronized Hopf bifurcation analysis in a neural network model with delays

We consider the synchronized periodic oscillation in a ring neural network model with two different delays in self-connection and nearest neighbor coupling. Employing the center manifold theorem and normal form method introduced by Hassard et al., we give an algorithm for determining the Hopf bifurcation properties. Using the global Hopf bifurcation theorem for FDE due to Wu and Bendixson's criterion for high-dimensional ODE due to Li and Muldowney, we obtain several groups of conditions that guarantee the model have multiple synchronized periodic solutions when the transfer coefficient or time delay is sufficiently large.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis in a tri-neuron network with time delay

A neural network model with three neurons and a single delay is considered. The existence of local Hopf bifurcations is first considered and then explicit formulas are derived by using the normal form method and center manifold theory to determine the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. A global Hopf bifurcation theorem due to Wu and a Bendixson's criterion for high-dimensional ODE due to Li and Muldowney are used to obtain a group of conditions for the system to have multiple periodic solutions when the delay is sufficiently large. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to support the theoretical analysis of the research.     

Bifurcation analysis in a neutral differential equation

The dynamics of a neural network model in neutral form is investigated. We prove that a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occurs at the origin as the delay increases. The direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are determined by using normal form method and center manifold theory. Global existence of periodic solutions is established using a global Hopf bifurcation result of Krawcewicz et al. and a Bendixson's criterion for higher dimensional ordinary differential equations due to Li and Muldowney.     

Global stability and Hopf bifurcation of a plankton model with time delay

A differential delay equation model with a discrete time delay and a distributed time delay is introduced to simulate zooplankton–nutrient interaction. The differential inequalities’ methods and standard Hopf bifurcation analysis are applied. Some sufficient conditions are obtained for persistence and for the global stability of the unique positive steady state, respectively. It was shown that there is a Hopf bifurcation in the model by using the discrete time delay as a bifurcation parameter.

Delay induced subcritical Hopf bifurcation in a diffusive predator-prey model with herd behavior and hyperbolic mortality

In this paper, we consider the dynamics of a delayed diffusive predator-prey model with herd behavior and hyperbolic mortality under Neumann boundary conditions. Firstly, by analyzing the characteristic equations in detail and taking the delay as a bifurcation parameter, the stability of the positive equilibria and the existence of Hopf bifurcations induced by delay are investigated. Then, applying the normal form theory and the center manifold argument for partial functional differential equations, the formula determining the properties of the Hopf bifurcation are obtained. Finally, some numerical simulations are also carried out and we obtain the unstable spatial periodic solutions, which are induced by the subcritical Hopf bifurcation.     

Dynamical analysis of a delayed singular prey–predator economic model with stochastic fluctuations

This article studies a delayed singular prey–predator economic model with stochastic fluctuations, which is described by differential‐algebraic equations due to a economic theory. Local stability and Hopf bifurcation condition are described on the delayed singular prey–predator economic model within deterministic environment. It reveals the sensitivity of the model dynamics on gestation time delay. A phenomenon of Hopf bifurcation occurs as the gestation time delay increases through a certain threshold. Subsequently, a singular stochastic prey–predator economic model with time delay is obtained by introducing Gaussian white noise terms to the above deterministic model system. The fluctuation intensity of population and harvest effort are calculated by Fourier transforms method. Numerical simulations are carried out to substantiate these theory analysis. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 19: 23–29, 2014     

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. Explicit algorithm for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are derived, using the theory of normal form and center manifold. 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).     

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.

In this paper, we consider a three-dimensional delayed differential equation representing a bidirectional associate memory (BAM) neural network with three neurons and two discrete delays. By analyzing the number and stability of equilibria, the pitchfork bifurcation curve of the system is obtained. Furthermore, on the pitchfork bifurcation curve, by using the sum of two delays as the bifurcation parameter, we find that the system can undergo a Hopf bifurcation at the origin and the three-dimensional ordinary differential equation describing the flow on the center manifold is given.     

Global existence of periodic solutions on a simplified BAM neural network model with delays

A simplified n-dimensional BAM neural network model with delays is considered. Some results of Hopf bifurcations occurring at the zero equilibrium as the delay increases are exhibited. Global existence of periodic solutions are established using a global Hopf bifurcation result of Wu [Wu J. Symmetric functional-differential equations and neural networks with memory. Trans Am Math Soc 1998;350:4799–838], and a Bendixson criterion for higher dimensional ordinary differential equations due to Li and Muldowney [Li MY, Muldowney J. On Bendixson’s criterion. J Differ Equations 1994;106:27–39]. Finally, computer simulations are performed to illustrate the analytical results found.     

The effect of time delay on the dynamics of an SEIR model with nonlinear incidence

In this paper, a SEIR epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate and time delay is investigated in three cases. The local stability of an endemic equilibrium and a disease-free equilibrium are discussed using stability theory of delay differential equations. The conditions that guarantee the asymptotic stability of corresponding steady-states are investigated. The results show that the introduction of a time delay in the transmission term can destabilize the system and periodic solutions can arise through Hopf bifurcation when using the time delay as a bifurcation parameter. Applying the normal form theory and center manifold argument, the explicit formulas determining the properties of the bifurcating periodic solution are derived. In addition, the effect of the inhibitory effect on the properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions is studied. Numerical simulations are provided in order to illustrate the theoretical results and to gain further insight into the behaviors of delayed systems.

Stability and global Hopf bifurcation in a delayed food web consisting of a prey and two predators

This paper is concerned with a predator–prey system with Holling II functional response and hunting delay and gestation. By regarding the sum of delays as the bifurcation parameter, the local stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated. We obtained explicit formulas to determine the properties of Hopf bifurcation by using the normal form method and center manifold theorem. Special attention is paid to the global continuation of local Hopf bifurcation. Using a global Hopf bifurcation result of Wu [Wu JH. Symmetric functional differential equations and neural networks with memory, Trans Amer Math Soc 1998;350:4799–4838] for functional differential equations, we may show the global existence of the periodic solutions. Finally, several numerical simulations illustrating the theoretical analysis are also given.

In this paper, an age‐structured population model with the form of neutral functional differential equation is studied. We discuss the stability of the positive equilibrium by analyzing the characteristic equation. Local Hopf bifurcation results are also obtained by choosing the mature delay as bifurcation parameter. On the center manifold, the normal form of the Hopf bifurcation is derived, and explicit formulae for determining the criticality of bifurcation are theoretically given. Moreover, the global continuation of Hopf bifurcating periodic solutions is investigated by using the global Hopf bifurcation theory of neutral equations. Finally, some numerical examples are carried out to support the main results.
