Dynamics of a delayed diffusive predator–prey model with hyperbolic mortality

This paper is devoted to consider a time-delayed diffusive prey–predator model with hyperbolic mortality. We focus on the impact of time delay on the stability of positive constant solution of delayed differential equations and positive constant equilibrium of delayed diffusive differential equations, respectively, and we investigate the similarities and differences between them. Our conclusions show that when time delay continues to increase and crosses through some critical values, a family of homogenous and inhomogeneous periodic solutions emerge. Particularly, we find the minimum value of time delay, which is often hard to be found. We also consider the nonexistence and existence of steady state solutions to the reaction–diffusion model without time delay.     

Z n equivariant in delay coupled dissipative Stuart–Landau oscillators

We consider a coupled dissipative Stuart?CLandau oscillator models. As the propagation time delay in the coupling varies, stability switches for the trivial solution are found. We discuss the spatio-temporal patterns of bifurcating periodic oscillations by using the symmetric bifurcation theory of delay differential equations combined with representation theory of Lie groups. The existence of multiple branches of bifurcating periodic solution is obtained. We also found that the spatio-temporal patterns of bifurcating periodic oscillations alternate according to the change of the propagation time delay in the coupling, i.e., different ranges of delays correspond to different patterns of dissipative Stuart?CLandau oscillators. Some numerical simulations support our analysis results.     

Estimating Critical Hopf Bifurcation Parameters for a Second-Order Delay Differential Equation with Application to Machine Tool Chatter

Nonlinear time delay differential equations are well known to havearisen in models in physiology, biology and population dynamics. Theyhave also arisen in models of metal cutting processes. Machine toolchatter, from a process called regenerative chatter, has been identifiedas self-sustained oscillations for nonlinear delay differentialequations. The actual chatter occurs when the machine tool shifts from astable fixed point to a limit cycle and has been identified as arealized Hopf bifurcation. This paper demonstrates first that a class ofnonlinear delay differential equations used to model regenerativechatter satisfies the Hopf conditions. It then gives a precisecharacterization of the critical eigenvalues on the stability boundaryand continues with a complete development of the Hopf parameter, theperiod of the bifurcating solution and associated Floquet exponents.Several cases are simulated in order to show the Hopf bifurcationoccurring at the stability boundary. A discussion of a method ofintegrating delay differential equations is also given.

Dynamics of a novel nonlinear SIR model with double epidemic hypothesis and impulsive effects

In this paper, the propagation of a nonlinear delay SIR epidemic using the double epidemic hypothesis is modeled. In the model, a system of impulsive functional differential equations is studied and the sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of the semi-trivial periodic solution are drawn. By use of new computational techniques for impulsive differential equations with delay, we prove that the system is permanent under appropriate conditions. The results show that time delay, pulse vaccination, and nonlinear incidence have significant effects on the dynamics behaviors of the model. The conditions for the control of the infection caused by viruses A and B are given.

Discretization of Asymptotically Stable Stationary Solutions of Delay Differential Equations with a Random Stationary Delay

We prove the existence of a stationary random solution to a delay random ordinary differential system, which attracts all other solutions in both pullback and forwards senses. The equation contains a one-sided dissipative Lipschitz term without delay, while the random delay appears in a globally Lipschitz one. The delay function only needs to be continuous in time. Moreover, we also prove that the split implicit Euler scheme associated to the random delay differential system generates a discrete time random dynamical system, which also possesses a stochastic stationary solution with the same attracting property, and which converges to the stationary solution of the delay random differential equation pathwise as the stepsize goes to zero.

Singularly perturbed reaction diffusion equations with time delay

Abstract A class of initial boundary value problems of differential-difference equations for reaction diffusion with a small time delay is considered. Under suitable conditions and by using the stretched variable method, a formal asymptotic solution is constructed. Then, by use of the theory of differential inequalities, the uniform validity of the solution is proved.     

A singular perturbation analysis with applications to delay differential equations

We prove an approximation result for the solutions of a singularly perturbed, nonautonomous ordinary differential equation which has interesting applications to problems in higher dimensions. Here our result is applied to a singularly perturbed, delay differential equation with state dependent time-lags (i.e., aninfinite dimensional problem). We find a new dynamical system (also in infinite dimensions), which describes, in a certain sense, the dynamics of our delay equations for very small values of the singular parameter.     

On Some Extension of Center Manifold Method to Functional Differential Equations with Oscillatory Decreasing Coefficients and Variable Delays

We propose an asymptotic integration method for certain class of functional differential systems. This class includes the delay differential equations with oscillatory decreasing coefficients and variable delays that are close to constants at infinity. Both the ideas of the centre manifold theory and the averaging method together with some classical asymptotic theorems are used to construct the asymptotics for solutions. We illustrate the asymptotic integration method by constructing the asymptotics for solutions of scalar differential equation with variable delay.     

Finite Dimensional State Representation of Linear and Nonlinear Delay Systems

We consider the question of when delay systems, which are intrinsically infinite dimensional, can be represented by finite dimensional systems. Specifically, we give conditions for when all the information about the solutions of the delay system can be obtained from the solutions of a finite system of ordinary differential equations. For linear autonomous systems and linear systems with time-dependent input we give necessary and sufficient conditions and in the nonlinear case we give sufficient conditions. Most of our results for linear renewal and delay differential equations are known in different guises. The novelty lies in the approach which is tailored for applications to models of physiologically structured populations. Our results on linear systems with input and nonlinear systems are new.

A frequency-domain method for solving linear time delay systems with constant coefficients

In an active control system, time delay will occur due to processes such as signal acquisition and transmission, calculation, and actuation. Time delay systems are usually described by delay differential equations (DDEs). Since it is hard to obtain an analytical solution to a DDE, numerical solution is of necessity. This paper presents a frequency-domain method that uses a truncated transfer function to solve a class of DDEs. The theoretical transfer function is the sum of infinite items expressed in terms of poles and residues. The basic idea is to select the dominant poles and residues to truncate the transfer function, thus ensuring the validity of the solution while improving the efficiency of calculation. Meanwhile, the guideline of selecting these poles and residues is provided. Numerical simulations of both stable and unstable delayed systems are given to verify the proposed method, and the results are presented and analysed in detail.
