We show that in a reaction diffusion system on a two-dimensional substrate with advection in the confined direction, the drift (advection) induced instability occurs through a Hopf bifurcation, which can become a double Hopf bifurcation. The box size in the direction of the drift is a vital parameter. Our analysis involves reduction to a low dimensional dynamical system and constructing amplitu...

A three-stage-structured prey-predator model with discrete and continuous time delays is studied. The characteristic equations and the stability of the boundary and positive equilibrium are analyzed. The conditions for the positive equilibrium occurring Hopf bifurcation are given, by applying the theorem of Hopf bifurcation. Finally, numerical simulation and brief conclusion are given.

In this paper, a tri–neuron network model with time delay is investigated. By using the Bendixson’s criterion for high– dimensional ordinary differential equations and global Hopf bifurcation theory for functional differential equations, sufficient conditions for existence of periodic solutions when the time delay is sufficiently large are established. Keywords—Delay, global Hopf bifurcation, n...

We study Hopf-Andronov bifurcations in a class of random differential equations (RDEs) with bounded noise. We observe that when an ordinary differential equation that undergoes a Hopf bifurcation is subjected to bounded noise then the bifurcation that occurs involves a discontinuous change in the Minimal Forward Invariant set.

In this paper, a predator-prey model with time delay and habitat complexity is investigated. By analyzing the characteristic equations, the local stability of each feasible equilibria of the system is discussed and the existence of a Hopf bifurcation at the coexistence equilibrium is established. By choosing the sum of two delays as a bifurcation parameter, we show that Hopf bifurcations can oc...

The purpose of this paper is to study bifurcation of an Internet congestion control algorithm, namely REM (Random Exponential Marking) algorithm, with communication delay. By choosing the delay constant as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that REM algorithm exhibits Hopf bifurcation. The formulas for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic so...

To understand joint effects of logistic growth in target cells and intracellular delay on viral dynamics in vivo, we carry out two-parameter bifurcation analysis of an in-host model that describes infections of many viruses including HIV-I, HBV and HTLV-I. The bifurcation parameters are the mitosis rate r of the target cells and an intracellular delay τ in the incidence of viral infection. We d...

In this paper, a cyclic predator-prey system with Sigmoidal type functional response is considered. The stability of the positive equilibrium and existence of Hopf bifurcation is studied by analyzing the distribution of the roots of associated characteristic equation. It is shown that the positive equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when the time delay is small enough, while change of ...
