We consider a nutrient-phytoplankton model with a Holling type II functional response and a time delay. By selecting the time delay used as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that the system is stable if the delay value is lower than the critical value but unstable when it is above this value. First, we investigate the existence and stability of the equilibria, as well as the existence of Hopf bifurcations. Second, we consider the direction, stability, and period of the periodic solutions from the steady state based on the normal form and the center manifold theory, thereby deriving explicit formulas. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the main theoretical results.

In this paper, we study a classic mutualistic relationship between the leaf cutter ants and their fungus garden, establishing a time delay mutualistic system with stage structure. We investigate the stability and Hopf bifurcation by analyzing the distribution of the roots of the associated characteristic equation. By means of the center manifold theory and normal form method, explicit formulae are derived to determine the stability, direction and other properties of bifurcating periodic solutions. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out for illustrating the theoretical results.

A delay differential system is investigated based on a previously proposed nutrient-phytoplankton model. The time delay is regarded as a bifurcation parameter. Our aim is to determine how the time delay affects the system. First, we study the existence and local stability of two equilibria using the characteristic equation and identify the condition where a Hopf bifurcation can occur. Second, the formulae that determine the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of periodic solutions are obtained using the normal form and the center manifold theory. Furthermore, our main results are illustrated using numerical simulations.

The local reaction-diffusion Lengyel-Epstein system with delay is investigated. By choosingτas bifurcating parameter, we show that Hopf bifurcations occur when time delay crosses a critical value. Moreover, we derive the equation describing the flow on the center manifold; then we give the formula for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to support the analytical results and the chaotic behaviors are observed.

The Gierer-Meinhardt system is one of the prototypical pattern formation models. The bifurcation and pattern dynamics of a spatiotemporal discrete Gierer-Meinhardt system are investigated via the couple map lattice model (CML) method in this paper. The linear stability of the fixed points to such spatiotemporal discrete system is analyzed by stability theory. By using the bifurcation theory, the center manifold theory and the Turing instability theory, the Turing instability conditions in flip bifurcation and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation are considered, respectively. To illustrate the above theoretical results, numerical simulations are carried out, such as bifurcation diagram, maximum Lyapunov exponents, phase orbits, and pattern formations.

In this paper, the system of describing the interactions between poisonous phytoplankton and zooplankton is presented. It focuses on the effects of two delays on the dynamic behavior of the system. At first, the properties of solutions including positivity and boundedness are given. Next, the stability of equilibria and the existence of local Hopf bifurcation are established when delays change and cross some threshold values. Especially, the existence of global periodic solutions is discussed when the two delays are equal. Furthermore, the implicit algorithm is derived for deciding the properties of the branching periodic solutions by using center manifold theory. Some numerical simulations are performed for supporting the theoretical results. Finally, some conclusions are given.

A delayed ratio-dependent one-predator and two-prey system with Michaelis–Menten type functional response is investigated. We show the existence of nonnegative equilibria under some appropriated conditions. Criteria for local stability, instability of nonnegative equilibria are obtained. The existence of Hopf bifurcations at the endemic equilibrium is established by analyzing the distribution of the characteristic values. An explicit algorithm for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived by using the normal form and the center manifold theory. At last, some numerical simulations to support the analytical conclusions are carried out.

This paper mainly modifies and further develops the Reyleigh price model. By modifying the basic Reyleigh model, we can more accurately illustrate the economic phenomena with price varying. First, we research the dynamics of the modified Reyleigh model with time delay. By employing the normal form theory and center manifold theory, we obtain some testable results on these issues. The conclusion confirms that a Hopf bifurcation occurs due to the existence of stability switches when the delay varies. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

A delayed predator–prey system with diffusion and Dirichlet boundary conditions is considered. By regarding the growth rate a of prey as a main bifurcation parameter, we show that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the parameter a is varied. Then, by using the center manifold theory and normal form method, an explicit algorithm for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived.

In this paper, a system of neural networks in neutral form with time delay is investigated. Further, by introducing delay [Formula: see text] as a bifurcation parameter, it is found that Hopf bifurcation occurs when [Formula: see text] is across some critical values. The direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability are determined by using normal form method and center manifold theory. Next, the global existence of periodic solution is established by using a global Hopf bifurcation result. Finally, an example is given to support the theoretical predictions.
