In this paper, we consider a two-dimensional delay differential system with two delays. By analyzing the distribution of eigenvalues, linear stability of the equilibria and existence of Hopf, Bautin, and Hopf–Hopf bifurcations are obtained in which the time delays are used as the bifurcation parameter. General formula for the direction, period, and stability of the bifurcated periodic solutions...

Let F := {fx : x ∈ X} be a family of functionals defined on a Hilbert manifold e E and smoothly depending on a compact n-dimensional manifold X. The aim of this paper is to give a sufficient topological condition on the parameter space X in such a way the family F bifurcate from the trivial branch.

Hopf bifurcation theory for an oscillator subject to a weak feedback but a large delay is investigated for a specific laser system. The problem is motivated by semiconductor laser instabilities which are initiated by undesirable optical feedbacks. Most of these instabilities are starting from a single Hopf bifurcation. Because of the large delay, a delayed amplitude appears in the slow time bif...

We study in this article the bifurcation and stability of the solutions of the Boussinesq equations, and the onset of the Rayleigh-Bénard convection. A nonlinear theory for this problem is established in this article using a new notion of bifurcation called attractor bifurcation and its corresponding theorem developed recently by the authors in [6]. This theory includes the following three aspe...

In this paper, a two-species Lotka–Volterra predator-prey model with two delays is considered. By analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation, the linear stability of the positive equilibrium is investigated and Hopf bifurcation is demonstrated. Some explicit formulae for determining the stability and direction of Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bif...

In this paper, a tri-neuron network model with discrete delays is considered. By analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation, its linear stability is investigated and Hopf bifurcation is demonstrated. Some explicit formulae determining the stability and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcations are obtained by using the norma...

A kind of delay neural network with n elements is considered. By analyzing the distribution of the eigenvalues, a bifurcation set is given in an appropriate parameter space. Then by using the theory of equivariant Hopf bifurcations of ordinary differential equations due to Golubitsky et al. 1988 and delay differential equations due to Wu 1998 , and combining the normal form theory of functional...

Electric power systems are physically some of the largest and most complex nonlinear systems in the world. Bifurcations are rather mundane phenomena in power systems. The pioneer work on the local bifurcation analysis of power systems can be dated back to the 1970’s and earlier. Within the last 20 years or so nonlinear dynamical theory has become a subject of great interest to researchers and e...
