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...

We consider the nonlinear dynamical behavior of a three-dimensional recurrent neural network with time delay. By choosing the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the delay passes through a sequence of critical values. Applying the normal form method and center manifold theory, we obtain some local bifurcation results and derive formulas for determin...

In this paper, an SIV epidemic model with the saturated incidence rate is investigated, considering the factors of population dynamics such as the constant recruitment of population, the natural morality and vaccination strategy. By carrying out the bifurcation analysis of the model, it is shown that numerous kinds of bifurcation occur for the model, such as Hopf bifurcation and Bogdanov–Takens...

Two coupled delay-line oscillators are modeled by a system of delay differential equations, and their oscillations are analyzed by reducing the delay equations to a system of ordinary differential equations on a finite-dimensional center manifold in the corresponding infinitedimensional state-space. After averaging the finite-dimensional system, a bifurcation analysis reveals a complex structur...

The FitzHugh-Nagumo equation has been investigated with a wide array of different methods in the last three decades. Recently a version of the equations with an applied current was analyzed by Champneys, Kirk, Knobloch, Oldeman and Sneyd [5] using numerical continuation methods. They obtained a complicated bifurcation diagram in parameter space featuring a C-shaped curve of homoclinic bifurcati...

We present a bifurcation analysis of a normal form for traveling waves in one-dimensional excitable media. The normal form that has been recently proposed on phenomenological grounds is given in the form of a differential delay equation. The normal form exhibits a symmetry-preserving Hopf bifurcation that may coalesce with a saddle node in a Bogdanov-Takens point, and a symmetry-breaking spatia...

In this paper, a symbolic method is proposed for analyzing the bifurcation in switching power converters. This method focuses on the cyclic operation of the system which characterizes its bifurcation behavior. The concept of block sequence is introduced, which, in conjunction with the periodicity of the system, can be used to distinguish the various types of bifurcation behavior, e.g., “smooth”...

The validity of a biochemical reactor model often is evaluated by comparing transient responses to experimental data. Dynamic simulation can be a rather inefficient and ineffective tool for analyzing bioreactor models that exhibit complex nonlinear behavior. Bifurcation analysis is a powerful tool for obtaining a more efficient and complete characterization of the model behavior. To illustrate ...

Analysis and controlling of bifurcation for a class of chaotic Van der PolDuffing system with multiple unknown parameters are conducted. The stability of the equilibrium of the system is studied by using Routh-Hurwitz criterion, and the critical value of Hopf bifurcation is investigated. Based on the center manifold theory and normal form reduction, the stability index of bifurcation solution i...
