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 parametric spaces. The normal form and universal unfolding at double Hopf bifurcation points are considered by the center manifold method. Some examples also indicate that the corresponding unique attractor near each double Hopf point is asymptotically stable.

AbstractIn this paper, we study a mathematical model of an immune response system consisting of a number of immune cells that work together to protect the human body from invading tumor cells. The delay differential equation is used to model the immune system caused by a natural delay in the activation process of immune cells. Analytical studies are focused on finding conditions in which the system undergoes changes in stability near a tumor-free steady-state solution. We found that the existence of a tumor-free steady-state solution was warranted when the number of activated effector cells was sufficiently high. By considering the lag of stimulation of helper cell production as the bifurcation parameter, a critical lag is obtained that determines the threshold of the stability change of the tumor-free steady state. It is also leading the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation to periodic solutions at the tumor-free steady-state solution.Keywords: tumor–immune system; delay differential equation; transcendental function; Hopf bifurcation. AbstrakDalam makalah ini, dikaji model matematika dari sistem respon imun yang terdiri dari sejumlah sel imun yang bekerja sama untuk melindungi tubuh manusia dari invasi sel tumor. Persamaan diferensial tunda digunakan untuk memodelkan sistem kekebalan yang disebabkan oleh keterlambatan alami dalam proses aktivasi sel-sel imun. Studi analitik difokuskan untuk menemukan kondisi di mana sistem mengalami perubahan stabilitas di sekitar solusi kesetimbangan bebas tumor. Diperoleh bahwa solusi kesetimbangan bebas tumor dijamin ada ketika jumlah sel efektor yang diaktifkan cukup tinggi. Dengan mempertimbangkan tundaan stimulasi produksi sel helper sebagai parameter bifurkasi, didapatkan lag kritis yang menentukan ambang batas perubahan stabilitas dari solusi kesetimbangan bebas tumor. Parameter tersebut juga mengakibatkan sistem mengalami percabangan Hopf untuk solusi periodik pada solusi kesetimbangan bebas tumor.Kata kunci: sistem tumor–imun; persamaan differensial tundaan; fungsi transedental; bifurkasi Hopf.

An analysis of the self-excited oscillations of a rotor supported in fluid film journal bearings is presented. It is shown that Hopf bifurcation theory may be used to investigate small-amplitude periodic solutions of the nonlinear equations of motion for rotor speeds close to the speed at which the steady-state equilibrium position becomes unstable. A numerical investigation supports the findings of the analytic work.

Semi-analytical solutions are derived for the Brusselator system in one- and two-dimensional domains. The Galerkin method is processed to approximate the governing partial differential equations via a system of ordinary differential equations. Both steady-state concentrations and transient solutions are obtained. Semi-analytical results for the stability of the model are presented for the identified critical parameter value at which a Hopf bifurcation occurs. The impact of the diffusion coefficients on the system is also considered. The results show that diffusion acts to stabilize the systems better than the equivalent nondiffusive systems with the increasing critical value of the Hopf bifurcation. Comparison between the semi-analytical and numerical solutions shows an excellent agreement with the steady-state transient solutions and the parameter values at which the Hopf bifurcations occur. Examples of stable and unstable limit cycles are given, and Hopf bifurcation points are shown to confirm the results previously calculated in the Hopf bifurcation map. The usefulness and accuracy of the semi-analytical results are confirmed by comparison with the numerical solutions of partial differential equations.
