The qualitative behavior of a conceptual ocean box model is investigated. It is a paradigmatic model of the thermohaline ocean circulation of the Atlantic. In a bifurcation study, the two occurring bifurcations, a saddle-node and a Hopf bifurcation, are computed analytically. Using normal form theory, it is shown that the latter bifurcation is always subcritical. The unstable periodic orbit emerging at the Hopf bifurcation vanishes in a homoclinic bifurcation. The results are interpreted with respect to the stability of the thermohaline circulation.

A delayed SEIRS epidemic model with vertical transmission in computer network is considered. Sufficient conditions for local stability of the positive equilibrium and existence of local Hopf bifurcation are obtained by analyzing distribution of the roots of the associated characteristic equation. Furthermore, the direction of the local Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are determined by using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem. Finally, a numerical example is presented to verify the theoretical analysis.

A further generalization of an economic growth model is the main topic of this paper. The paper specifically analyzes the effects on the asymptotic dynamics of the Solow model when two time delays are inserted: the time employed in order that the capital is used for production and the necessary time so that the capital is depreciated. The existence of a unique nontrivial positive steady state of the generalized model is proved and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability are established. Moreover, the existence of a Hopf bifurcation is proved and, by using the normal form theory and center manifold argument, the explicit formulas which determine the stability, direction, and period of bifurcating periodic solutions are obtained. Finally, numerical simulations are performed for supporting the analytical results.

A new 4D hyperchaotic system is constructed based on the Lorenz system. The compound structure and forming mechanism of the new hyperchaotic attractor are studied via a controlled system with constant controllers. Furthermore, it is found that the Hopf bifurcation occurs in this hyperchaotic system when the bifurcation parameter exceeds a critical value. The direction of the Hopf bifurcation as well as the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions is presented in detail by virtue of the normal form theory. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate and verify the results.

This paper is devoted to the study of an SIRS computer virus propagation model with two delays and multistate antivirus measures. We demonstrate that the system loses its stability and a Hopf bifurcation occurs when the delay passes through the corresponding critical value by choosing the possible combination of the two delays as the bifurcation parameter. Moreover, the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are determined by means of the center manifold theorem and the normal form theory. Finally, some numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the obtained results.

A delay-differential modelling of vector-borne is investigated. Its dynamics are studied in terms of local analysis and Hopf bifurcation theory, and its linear stability and Hopf bifurcation are demonstrated by studying the characteristic equation. The stability and direction of Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold argument.

A simple delayed neural network model with four neurons is considered. Linear stability of the model is investigated by analyzing the associated characteristic equation. It is found that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the sum of four delays varies and passes a sequence of critical values. The stability and direction of the Hopf bifurcation are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. An example is given and numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the obtained results. Meanwhile, the bifurcation set is provided in the appropriate parameter plane.

AbstractThe stability and Hopf bifurcation of a delayed SIS epidemic model with double epidemic hypothesis are investigated in this paper. We first study the stability of the unique positive equilibrium of the model in four cases, and we obtain the stability conditions through analyzing the distribution of characteristic roots of the corresponding linearized system. Moreover, we choosing the delay as bifurcation parameter and the existence of Hopf bifurcation is investigated in detail. We can derive explicit formulas for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcation periodic solution by center manifold theorem and normal form theory. Finally, we perform the numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical results.

This paper is concerned with the Hopf bifurcation of a synthetic drug transmission model with two delays. Firstly, some sufficient conditions of delay-induced bifurcation for such a model are captured by using different combinations of the two delays as the bifurcation parameter. Secondly, based on the center manifold theorem and normal form theory, some sufficient conditions determining properties of the Hopf bifurcation such as the direction and the stability are established. Finally, to underline the effectiveness of the obtained results, some numerical simulations are ultimately addressed.

The Hopf bifurcation for a predator-prey system with -logistic growth and prey refuge is studied. It is shown that the ODEs undergo a Hopf bifurcation at the positive equilibrium when the prey refuge rate or the index- passed through some critical values. Time delay could be considered as a bifurcation parameter for DDEs, and using the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction, explicit formulae are derived to determine the direction of bifurcations and the stability and other properties of bifurcating periodic solutions. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main results.

A kind of delayed predator-prey system with harvesting is considered in this paper. The influence of harvesting and delay is investigated. Our results show that Hopf bifurcations occur as the delayτpasses through critical values. By using of normal form theory and center manifold theorem, the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are obtained. Finally, numerical simulations are given to support our theoretical predictions.
