In this paper, a gene regulatory network mediated by small noncoding RNA involving two time delays and diffusion under the Neumann boundary conditions is studied. Choosing the sum of delays as the bifurcation parameter, the stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of spatially homogeneous and spatially inhomogeneous periodic solutions are investigated by analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation. It is shown that the sum of delays can induce Hopf bifurcation and the diffusion incorporated into the system can effect the amplitude of periodic solutions. Furthermore, the spatially homogeneous periodic solution always exists and the spatially inhomogeneous periodic solution will arise when the diffusion coefficients of protein and mRNA are suitably small. Particularly, the small RNA diffusion coefficient is more robust and its effect on model is much less than protein and mRNA. Finally, the explicit formulae for determining the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are derived by employing the normal form theory and center manifold theorem for partial functional differential equations. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate our theoretical analysis.

In this paper, the impacts of multiple time delays on a gene regulatory network mediated by small noncoding RNA is studied. By analyzing the associated characteristic equation of the corresponding linearized system, the asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium is investigated and Hopf bifurcation is demonstrated. Furthermore, the explicit formulae for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are given by the center manifold theorem and the normal form theory for functional differential equations. Finally, some numerical simulations are demonstrated for supporting the theoretical results.

A singular prey-predator model with time delays is formulated and analyzed. Allee effect is considered on the growth of the prey population. The singular prey-predator model is transformed into its normal form by using differential-algebraic system theory. We study its dynamics in terms of local analysis and Hopf bifurcation. The existence of periodic solutions via Hopf bifurcation with respect to two delays is established. In particular, we study the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcated periodic solutions by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold argument. Finally, numerical simulations are included supporting the theoretical analysis and displaying the complex dynamical behavior of the model outside the domain of stability.

We consider a model for gene expression with one or two time delays and diffusion. The local stability and delay-induced Hopf bifurcation are investigated. We also derive the formulas determining the direction and the stability of Hopf bifurcations by calculating the normal form on the center manifold.

Tumor-immune interaction plays an important role in the tumor treatment. We analyze the stability of steady states in a diffusive tumor-immune model with response and proliferation delay [Formula: see text] of immune system where the immune cell has a probability [Formula: see text] in killing tumor cells. We find increasing time delay [Formula: see text] destabilizes the positive steady state and induces Hopf bifurcations. The criticality of Hopf bifurcation is investigated by deriving normal forms on the center manifold, then the direction of bifurcation and stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are determined. Using a group of parameters to simulate the system, stable periodic solutions are found near the Hopf bifurcation. The effect of killing probability [Formula: see text] on Hopf bifurcation values is also discussed.

In this paper, we present a discontinuous cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) response for HTLV-1. Moreover, a delay parameter for the activation of CTLs is considered. In fact, a system of differential equation with discontinuous right-hand side with delay is defined for HTLV-1. For analyzing the dynamical behavior of the system, graphical Hopf bifurcation is used. In general, Hopf bifurcation theory will help to obtain the periodic solutions of a system as parameter varies. Therefore, by applying the frequency domain approach and analyzing the associated characteristic equation, the existence of Hopf bifurcation by using delay immune response as a bifurcation parameter is determined. The stability of Hopf bifurcation periodic solutions is obtained by the Nyquist criterion and the graphical Hopf bifurcation theorem. At the end, numerical simulations demonstrated our results for the system of HTLV-1.

In this paper, the dynamics of a phytoplankton–zooplankton system with delay and diffusion are investigated. The positivity and persistence are studied by using the comparison theorem and upper and lower solutions method. The stability of steady states and the existence of local Hopf bifurcation are obtained by analyzing the distribution of eigenvalues. And the global existence of positive periodic solutions is established by using the global Hopf bifurcation result given by Wu [1996]. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the analytical results.

In this paper, we consider the effects of time delay and space diffusion on the dynamics of a Leslie–Gower type predator–prey system. It is shown that under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition the occurrence of space diffusion does not affect the stability of the positive constant equilibrium of the system. However, we find that the incorporation of a discrete delay representing the gestation of prey species can not only destabilize the positive constant equilibrium of the system but can also cause a Hopf bifurcation at the positive constant equilibrium as it crosses some critical values. In particular, we prove that these Hopf bifurcations' periodic solutions are all spatially homogeneous if the diffusive rates are suitably large, which has the same properties as periodic solutions of the corresponding delayed system without diffusion. However, if the diffusive rates are suitably small, then the system will generate spatially nonhomogeneous periodic solutions. The results in this work demonstrate that diffusion plays an important role in deriving complex spatiotemporal dynamics.

The dynamics of a prey-predator system with a finite delay is investigated. We show that a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occurs at the positive equilibrium as the delay increases. By using the theory of normal form and center manifold, explicit expressions for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are derived.

By applying a geometrical scheme developed to tackle the eigenvalue problem of delay differential equations with multiple time delays, Hopf bifurcation of Hopfield neuron model is analyzed in two-parameter space. By the introduction of two new angles, the calculation of imaginary roots is carried out analytically and effectively. By increasing the parameter to cross over the Hopf bifurcation lines, the stability switching direction is confirmed. The method is a useful tool to show the partition of stable and unstable regions in two-parameter space and detect double Hopf bifurcation further. The typified dynamical behaviors based on nearby double Hopf points are analyzed by applying the normal form technique and center manifold method.
