In this paper, a nonlinear delay population model is investigated. Choosing the delay as a bifurcation parameter, we demonstrate that Hopf bifurcation will occur when the delay exceeds a critical value. Global existence of bifurcating periodic solutions is established. Numerical simulations supporting the theoretical findings are included. Keywords—Population model; Stability; Hopf bifurcation;...

In this paper, we study the persistence, stability and Hopf bifurcation in a ratio-dependent predator–prey model with diffusion and delay. Sufficient conditions independent of diffusion and delay are obtained for the persistence of the system and global stability of the boundary equilibrium. The local stability of the positive constant equilibrium and delay-induced Hopf bifurcation are investig...

For a two-neuron network with self-connection and time delays, we carry out stability and bifurcation analysis. We establish that a Hopf bifurcation occurs when the total delay passes a sequence of critical values. The stability and direction of the local Hopf bifurcation are determined using the normal form method and center manifold theorem. To show that periodic solutions exist away from the...

We first consider the existence of local Hopf bifurcations, and then derive the explicit formulas which determine the stability, direction and other properties of bifurcating periodic solutions, using the normal form theory and center manifold reduction. Further, particular attention is focused on the existence of the global Hopf bifurcation. By using the global Hopf bifurcation theory due to W...

We consider a delayed predator-prey system with Holling II functional response. Firstly, the paper considers the stability and local Hopf bifurcation for a delayed prey-predator model using the basic theorem on zeros of general transcendental function, which was established by Cook etc.. Secondly, special attention is paid to the global existence of periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifu...

We consider a reaction-diffusion equation with Neumann boundary conditions and show that solutions to this problem may be obtained from a problem with periodic boundary conditions and equivariant under O(2) symmetry. We describe the solutions for Hopf bifurcation and mode interactions involving Hopf bifurcation, namely, steadystate/Hopf and Hopf/Hopf. Neumann boundary conditions constrain the s...

The stability and bifurcation of a van der Pol-Duffing oscillator with the delay feedback are investigated, in which the strength of feedback control is a nonlinear function of delay. A geometrical method in conjunction with an analytical method is developed to identify the critical values for stability switches and Hopf bifurcations. The Hopf bifurcation curves and multi-stable regions are obt...

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...
