About a three-dimensional autonomous continuous Lorenz-like system. Through the full analysis of equilibrium points, we can derive the parameter condition of Hopf bifurcation; Next we adopt a Washout filter controller designed independently to control the Hopf bifurcation of the system, and the effect of the controller’s parameters on the position of bifurcation point, the bifurcation type, and...

Tangent bifurcation is a special bifurcation in nonlinear dynamic systems. The investigation of the mechanism of the tangent bifurcation in current mode controlled boost converters operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is performed. The one-dimensional discrete iterative map of the boost converter is derived. Based on the tangent bifurcation theorem, the conditions of producing the tang...

In this paper, local bifurcation of a discrete two patch logistic metapopulation is discussed. By the central manifold method, flip bifurcation can be analyzed at the positive fixed point from the viewpoint of the dynamical system, and the system can not undergo a fold bifurcation. Simulations on this model show the discrete model can have rich dynamical behaviors. The state feedback control is...

A generic stationary instability that arise in quasi-reversible systems is studying, which is characterized by the confluence of three eigenvalues at the origin of complex plane with only one eigenfunction. We characterize the unified description of this bifurcation and the dynamics exhibits by this model. In particular, the chaotic behavior—homoclinic Shilnikov chaos—exhibits by this model. A ...

In this study, a model of active control system with time delay feedback is investigated, and time delays were set in control loop. An efficient method was used to analyze the stability of the system. By solving the characteristic equation, the local stability and the existence of codimension one bifurcation (Hopf bifurcation and fold bifurcation) were obtained. Regarding the time delay as bifu...

The existence of a heteroclinic bifurcation for the Michaelis–Menten-type ratiodependent predator-prey system is rigorously established. Limit cycles related to the heteroclinic bifurcation are also discussed. It is shown that the heteroclinic bifurcation is characterized by the collision of a stable limit cycle with the origin, and the bifurcation triggers a catastrophic shift from the state o...

The main modes of behavior of a food chain model, composed of logistic prey and Holling type II predator and superpredator, are discussed in this paper. The study is carried out through bifurcation analysis, alternating between a normal form approach and numerical continuation. The two-parameter bifurcation diagram of the model contains Hopf, fold and transcritical bifurcation curves of equilib...

INTRODUCTION Atherosclerosis is a focal disease that susceptibly forms near bifurcations, anastomotic joints, side branches, and curved vessels along the arterial tree. In this study, pulsatile blood flow in a bifurcation model with a non-planar branch is investigated. METHODS Wall shear stress (WSS) distributions along generating lines on vessels for different bifurcation angles are calculat...

Complex dynamics in the reduced swing equations of a power system are investigated. As the change of bifurcation parameter μ, the system exhibits complex bifurcations, such as saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, cyclic fold bifurcation and torus bifurcations and complex dynamics, such as periodic orbits, quasiperiodic orbits, period-doubling orbits and chaotic attractors which link with ...

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...
