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...

Mathematically, bifurcation theory attempts to investigate the changes in the qualitative or topological structure of a studied equation models. Given paper focuses on an analytical investigation of the nonlinear behavior of an indirect filedoriented control of induction motor. In this context, steady-state responses of the motor model are discussed and an analytical study of the generic codime...

The coalescence of a Hopf bifurcation with a codimension-two cusp bifurcation of equilibrium points yields a codimension-three bifurcation with rich dynamic behavior. This paper presents a comprehensive study of this cusp-Hopf bifurcation on the three-dimensional center manifold. It is based on truncated normal form equations, which have a phase-shift symmetry yielding a further reduction to a ...

We investigate the behaviour of a neural network model consisting of three neurons with delayed self and nearest-neighbour connections. We give analytical results on the existence, stability and bifurcation of nontrivial equilibria of the system. We show the existence of codimension two bifurcation points involving both standard and D3-equivariant, Hopf and pitchfork bifurcation points. We use ...

China Abstract In this paper, the Hopf bifurcation control for a Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with two delays is studied by using a hybrid control strategy. By analyzing the associated characteristic equation, its local stability and the exi...

In this paper, we are concerned with the Rose–Hindmarsh model with time delay. By applying the generalized Sturm criterion, a number of imaginary roots of the characteristic equation are classified. The absolutely stable regions for any value of time delay are detected. By the continuous software DDE-Biftool, both the Hopf bifurcation curves and double Hopf bifurcation points are illustrated in...

In this paper, we consider a two-neuron system with time-delayed connections between neurons. By analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation, its linear stability is investigated and Hopf bifurcation is demonstrated. Some explicit formulae for determining the stability and the direction of the Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcations are obtaine...

The main objective of this addendum to the mentioned article [49] by Park is to provide some remarks on bifurcation theories for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) and their applications to fluid dynamics problems. We only wish to comment and list some related literatures, without any intention to provide a complete survey. For steady state PDE bifurcation problems, the often used c...

Systems of coupled oscillators are widely used as models for biological rhythmic oscillations such as human circadian rhythms[1, 2], finger movements, animal locomotion[3], swarms of fireflies that flash in synchrony, synchronous firing of cardiac pacemaker cells[5, 6], and so on. Using these coupled oscillator models, many investigators have studied the mechanism of generation of synchronous o...

UMIST The use of boundary locus plots in the identiication of bifurcation points in numerical approximation of delay diierential equations Abstract We are interested in nonlinear delay diierential equations which have a Hopf bifurcation. We assume zero is a steady state for the problem, and so a Hopf bifurcation point lies on the boundary of the region of asymptotic stability for the zero solut...
