Bifurcation analysis of a tri-neuron neural network model in the frequency domain

In this paper, a class of neural network models with three neurons is considered. By applying the frequency domain approach and analyzing the associated characteristic equation, the existence of the bifurcation parameter point is determined. If the coefficient μ is chosen as a bifurcation parameter, it is found that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the parameter μ passes through a critical value. The direction and the stability of Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions are determined by the Nyquist criterion and the graphical Hopf bifurcation theorem. Some numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical analysis are also provided.     

Multiple bifurcation analysis in a ring of delay coupled oscillators with neutral feedback

Spatiotemporal periodic patterns, including phase-locked oscillations, mirror-reflecting waves, standing waves, in-phase or anti-phase oscillations are investigated in a ring of bidirectionally coupled oscillators with neutral delay feedback. It is confirmed that neutral feedback makes Hopf bifurcation occur in a larger domain of parameters. We calculate the normal forms near Hopf bifurcation, D _N equivariant Hopf bifurcation and double-Hopf bifurcation in this neutral equation by using the method of multiple scales. Theoretically, the appearance of the in-phase, anti-phase and phase-locked oscillations that we observed in the simulation about a ring of delay coupled Hindmarsh–Rose neurons with neutral feedback is explained.     

Multiple scales analysis for double Hopf bifurcation with?1:3?resonance

The dynamical behavior of a general n-dimensional delay differential equation (DDE) around a 1:3 resonant double Hopf bifurcation point is analyzed. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain complex bifurcation equations. By expressing complex amplitudes in a mixed polar-Cartesian representation, the complex bifurcation equations are again obtained in real form. As an illustration, a system of two coupled van der Pol oscillators is considered and a set of parameter values for which a 1:3 resonant double Hopf bifurcation occurs is established. The dynamical behavior around the resonant double Hopf bifurcation point is analyzed in terms of three control parameters. The validity of analytical results is shown by their consistency with numerical simulations.

Analytical period-3 motions to chaos in a hardening Duffing oscillator

In this paper, bifurcation trees of period-3 motions to chaos in the periodically forced, hardening Duffing oscillator are investigated analytically. Analytical solutions for period-3 and period-6 motions are used for the bifurcation trees of period-3 motions to chaos. Such bifurcation trees are based on the Hopf bifurcations of asymmetric period-3 motions. In addition, an independent symmetric period-3 motion without imbedding in chaos is discovered, and such a symmetric period-3 motion possesses saddle-node bifurcations only. The switching of symmetric to asymmetric period-3 motions is completed through saddle-node bifurcations, and the onset of asymmetric period-6 motions occurs at the Hopf bifurcations of asymmetric period-3 motions. Continuously, the onset of period-12 motions is at the Hopf bifurcation of asymmetric period-6 motions. With such bifurcation trees, the chaotic motions relative to asymmetric period-3 motions can be determined analytically. This investigation provides a systematic way to study analytical dynamics of chaos relative to period-m motions in nonlinear dynamical systems.     

On the Hamiltonian Hopf Bifurcations in the 3D Hénon–Heiles Family

An axially symmetric perturbed isotropic harmonic oscillator undergoes several bifurcations as the parameter adjusting the relative strength of the two terms in the cubic potential is varied. We show that three of these bifurcations are Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations. To this end we analyse an appropriately chosen normal form. It turns out that the linear behaviour is not that of a typical Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation as the eigen-values completely vanish at the bifurcation. However, the nonlinear structure is that of a Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation. The result is obtained by formulating geometric criteria involving the normalized Hamiltonian and the reduced phase space.

Local stability and Hopf bifurcations analysis of the Muthuswamy-Chua-Ginoux system

The three-dimensional Muthuswamy–Chua–Ginoux (MCG, for short) circuit system based on a thermistor is a generalization of the classical Muthuswamy–Chua circuit differential system. At present, there are only partial numerical simulations for the qualitative analysis of the MCG circuit system. In this work, we study local stability and Hopf bifurcations of the MCG circuit system depending on 8 parameters. The emerging of limit cycles under zero-Hopf bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation is investigated in detail by using the averaging method and the center manifolds theory, respectively. We provide sufficient conditions for a class of the circuit systems to have a prescribed number of limit cycles bifurcating from the zero-Hopf equilibria by making use of the third-order averaging method, as well as the methods of Gröbner basis and real solution classification from symbolic computation. Such algebraic analysis allows one to study the zero-Hopf bifurcation for any other differential system in dimension 3 or higher. After, the classical Hopf bifurcation of the circuit system is analyzed by computing the first three focus quantities near the Hopf equilibria. Some examples and numerical simulations are presented to verify the established theoretical results.

     

Two-parameter bifurcation analysis of limit cycles of a simplified railway wheelset model

The effect of the nonlinear terms on bifurcation behaviors of limit cycles of a simplified railway wheelset model is investigated. At first, the stable equilibrium state loses its stability via a Hopf bifurcation. The bifurcation curve is divided into a supercritical branch and a subcritical one by a generalized Hopf point, which plays a key role in determining the occurrence of flange contact and derailment of high-speed railway vehicles, and the occurrence of this critical situation is an important decision-making criteria for design parameters. Secondly, bifurcations of limit cycles are discussed by comparing the bifurcation behavior of cycles for two different nonlinear parameters. Unlike local Hopf bifurcation analysis based on a single bifurcation parameter in most papers, global bifurcation analysis of limit cycles based on two bifurcation parameters is investigated, simultaneously. It is shown that changing nonlinear parameter terms can affect bifurcation types of cycles and division of parameter domains. In particular, near the branch points of cycles, two symmetrical limit cycles are created by a pitchfork bifurcation and then two symmetrical cycles both undergo a period-doubling bifurcation to form two stable period-two cycles. Around the resonant points, period orbits can make several turns, whose number of turns corresponds to the ratio of resonance. Thirdly, near the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation of cycles, a stable torus is created by a supercritical Neimark–Sacker bifurcation, which shows that the orbit of the model exhibits modulated oscillations with two frequencies near the limit cycle. These results demonstrate that nonlinear parameter terms can produce very complex global bifurcation phenomena and make obvious effects on possible hunting motions even though a simple railway wheelset model is concerned.

     

Using delay to quench undesirable vibrations

A van der Pol type system with delayed feedback is explored by employing the two variable expansion perturbation method. The perturbation scheme is based on choosing a critical value for the delay corresponding to a Hopf bifurcation in the unperturbed ε=0 system. The resulting amplitude–delay relation predicts two Hopf bifurcation curves, such that in the region between these two curves oscillations will be quenched. The perturbation results are verified by comparison with numerical integration.     

Fractional-order PD control at Hopf bifurcations in a fractional-order congestion control system

In this paper, we address the problem of the bifurcation control of a delayed fractional-order dual model of congestion control algorithms. A fractional-order proportional–derivative (PD) feedback controller is designed to control the bifurcation generated by the delayed fractional-order congestion control model. By choosing the communication delay as the bifurcation parameter, the issues of the stability and bifurcations for the controlled fractional-order model are studied. Applying the stability theorem of fractional-order systems, we obtain some conditions for the stability of the equilibrium and the Hopf bifurcation. Additionally, the critical value of time delay is figured out, where a Hopf bifurcation occurs and a family of oscillations bifurcate from the equilibrium. It is also shown that the onset of the bifurcation can be postponed or advanced by selecting proper control parameters in the fractional-order PD controller. Finally, numerical simulations are given to validate the main results and the effectiveness of the control strategy.

     

Double Hopf bifurcation of time-delayed feedback control for maglev system

This paper undertakes an analysis of a double Hopf bifurcation of a maglev system with time-delayed feedback. At the intersection point of the Hopf bifurcation curves in velocity feedback control gain and time delay space, the maglev system has a codimension 2 double Hopf bifurcation. To gain insight into the periodic solution which arises from the double Hopf bifurcation and the unfolding, we calculate the normal form of double Hopf bifurcation using the method of multiple scales. Numerical simulations are carried out with two pairs of feedback control parameters, which show different unfoldings of the maglev system and we verify the theoretical analysis.     

The simplest parametrized normal forms of Hopf and generalized Hopf bifurcations

This paper considers the computation of the simplest parameterized normal forms (SPNF) of Hopf and generalized Hopf bifurcations. Although the notion of the simplest normal form has been studied for more than two decades, most of the efforts have been spent on the systems that do not involve perturbation parameters due to the restriction of the computational complexity. Very recently, two singularities – single zero and Hopf bifurcation – have been investigated, and the SPNFs for these two cases have been obtained. This paper extends a recently developed method for Hopf bifurcation to compute the SPNF of generalized Hopf bifurcations. The attention is focused on a codimension-2 generalized Hopf bifurcation. It is shown that the SPNF cannot be obtained by using only a near-identity transformation. Additional transformations such as time and parameter rescaling are further introduced. Moreover, an efficient recursive formula is presented for computing the SPNF. Examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the new method.     

Supercritical and subcritical Hopf bifurcation and limit cycle oscillations of an airfoil with cubic nonlinearity in supersonic\hypersonic flow

In this paper, the Hopf bifurcations and limit cycle oscillations (LCOs) of an airfoil with cubic nonlinearity in supersonic\hypersonic flow are investigated. The harmonic balance method and multivariable Floquet theory are applied to analyze the LCOs of the airfoil. Four distinct cases of the LCOs response are detected in this system: (I) supercritical Hopf bifurcation, (II) a single subcritical Hopf bifurcation, (III) two subcritical Hopf bifurcations, and (IV) no Hopf bifurcation. Furthermore, the parameter variations domains separating the supercritical and subcritical Hopf bifurcations are presented using singularity theory.     

A special type of codimension two bifurcation and unusual dynamics in a phase-modulated system with switched strategy

We investigate a new type of codimension two bifurcation and related dynamics in a phase-modulated system with switched strategy. Two curves intersect at a point and are called the crisis–Hopf bifurcation. At the critical crisis–Hopf vertex, a boundary crisis and Hopf bifurcation coincide. Metamorphosis of coexisting attractors can be observed in the vicinity of the vertex. Another novelty is that we discover some sets of measure zero with riddled holes in the neighborhood of the bifurcation point. These sets display some qualitative and quantitative features of riddled basins but they are essentially different from the riddled basin. It may provide a more comprehensive picture for unusual dynamical features.     

Multiple stability switches and Hopf bifurcation in a damped harmonic oscillator with delayed feedback

This paper takes into consideration a damped harmonic oscillator model with delayed feedback. After transforming the model into a system of first-order delayed differential equations with a single discrete delay, the single stability switch and multiple stability switches phenomena as well as the existence of Hopf bifurcation of the zero equilibrium of the system are explored by taking the delay as the bifurcation parameter and analyzing in detail the associated characteristic equation. Particularly, in view of the normal form method and the center manifold reduction for retarded functional differential equations, the explicit formula determining the properties of Hopf bifurcation including the direction of the bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are given. In order to check the rationality of our theoretical results, numerical simulations for some specific examples are also carried out by means of the MATLAB software package.

Diffusion-driven instability and Hopf bifurcation in Brusselator system

The Hopfbifurcation for the Brusselator ordinary-differential-equation （ODE） model and the corresponding partial-differential-equation （PDE） model are investigated by using the Hopf bifurcation theorem. The stability of the Hopf bifurcation periodic solution is discussed by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. When parameters satisfy some conditions, the spatial homogenous equilibrium solution and the spatial homogenous periodic solution become unstable. Our results show that if parameters are properly chosen, Hopf bifurcation does not occur for the ODE system, but occurs for the PDE system.     

Hopf bifurcation and heteroclinic orbit in a 3D autonomous chaotic system

In this paper we revisit a 3D autonomous chaotic system, which contains both the modified Lorenz system and the conjugate Chen system, presented in [Huang and Yang, Chaos Solitons Fractals 39:567–578, 2009]. First by citing two examples to show the errors and limitations for the local stability of the equilibrium point S ₊ obtained in this literature, we formulate a complete determining criterion for the local stability of S ₊ of this system. Although the local bifurcation problem of this system, mainly for Hopf bifurcation, etc., has been studied, the invoking of incorrect proposition leads to an incorrect result for Hopf bifurcation. We then renew the study of the Hopf bifurcation of this system by utilizing the Project Method. The global bifurcation problem, relatively speaking, should be more difficult than the local bifurcation problem for a given system. However, the global bifurcation problem of this system, to the best of our knowledge, has not been investigated yet in the literatures. So next we consider the global bifurcation problem for this system, mainly for the existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. Our results, one of which shows the existence of two heteroclinic orbits, not only correct and further supplement the ones obtained in the literature, but also give something new to theoretically help fully understand the occurrence of chaos.
