The local stability of a nonlinear dynamical system at an equilibrium point with a pair of purely imaginary eigenvalues can be assessed through the computation of a cubic Hopf normal form coefficient, assuming the remaining eigenvalues have negative real parts. In this paper, a modal decomposition of the Hopf coefficient is proved. The decomposition provides a new methodology for analyzing the ...

We have demonstrated that an unstable time-delayed controller can provide a tool to control the stability of Hopf bifurcation. The unstable time-delayed controller has used to stabilize an unstable periodic orbit operating in subcritical mode. By developing a new coupling method the unstable timedelayed system was improved to be applied for conversion of stability in Hopf bifurcation system. In...

We analyze the second order diierential equation describing a damped harmonic oscillator with nonlinear feedback depending on both the state and the derivative of the state at some time in the past. The characteristic equation for the linear stability of the equilibrium is completely solved, and the stability region is illustrated in a parameter space consisting of the time delay and the streng...

This paper is concerned with a delayed SIRS epidemic model with a nonlinear incidence rate. The main results are given in terms of local stability and Hopf bifurcation. Sufficient conditions for the local stability of the positive equilibrium and existence of Hopf bifurcation are obtained by regarding the time delay as the bifurcation parameter. Further, the properties of Hopf bifurcation such ...

A nonlinear car-following model of highway traffic is considered, which includes the reaction-time delay of drivers. Linear stability analysis shows that the uniform flow equilibrium of the system loses its stability via Hopf bifurcations and thus oscillations can appear. The stability and amplitudes of the oscillations are determined with the help of normal-form calculations of the Hopf bifurc...

In this paper, we propose and analyze a mathematical model describing the effect of awareness programs by public media on the prevalence of Typhoid fever. A threshold quantity $R_{0}$, similar to the basic reproduction number is derived. We investigate the biologically meaningful equilibrium points and their local stability analysis. The global stability analysis has been performed with respect...

Some delay independent and delay dependent conditions are derived for the global stability of the bidirectional associative memory neural networks with delayed self-feedback. Regarding the self-connection delay as the parameter to be varied, the linear stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis are carried out. An algorithm to determine the direction and stability of the Hopf bifurcations is also ...

The stability and Hopf bifurcation of the positive steady state to a general scalar reaction–diffusion equation with distributed delay and Dirichlet boundary condition are investigated in this paper. The time delay follows a Gamma distribution function. Through analyzing the corresponding eigenvalue problems, we rigorously show that Hopf bifurcations will occur when the shape parameter n ≥ 1, a...
