The aim of this study is to analyse a discrete-time two-stage game with R&D competition by considering a continuous-time set-up with fixed delays. The model is represented in the form of delay differential equations. The stability of all the equilibrium points is studied. It is found that the model exhibits very complex dynamical behaviours, and its Nash equilibrium is destabilised via Hopf bifurcations.

To reduce the global burden of mosquito-borne diseases, e.g. dengue, malaria, the need to develop new control methods is to be highlighted. The sterile insect technique (SIT) and various genetic modification strategies, have a potential to contribute to a reversal of the current alarming disease trends. In our previous work, the ordinary differential equation (ODE) models with different releasing sterile mosquito strategies are investigated. However, in reality, implementing SIT and the releasing processes of sterile mosquitos are very complex. In particular, the delay phenomena always occur. To achieve suppression of wild mosquito populations, in this paper, we reassess the effect of the delayed releasing of sterile mosquitos on the suppression of interactive mosquito populations. We extend the previous ODE models to the delayed releasing models in two different ways of releasing sterile mosquitos, where both constant and exponentially distributed delays are considered, respectively. By applying the theory and methods of delay differential equations, the effect of time delays on the stability of equilibria in the system is rigorously analyzed. Some sustained oscillation phenomena via Hopf bifurcations in the system are observed. Numerical examples demonstrate rich dynamical features of the proposed models. Based on the obtained results, we also suggest some new releasing strategies for sterile mosquito populations.

In this paper, the application of the Magnus expansion on periodic time-delayed differential equations is proposed, where an approximation technique of Chebyshev Spectral Continuous Time Approximation (CSCTA) is first used to convert a system of delayed differential equations (DDEs) into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), whose solution are then obtained via the Magnus expansion. The stability and time response of this approach are investigated on two examples and compared with known results in the literature.

A novel mathematical fractional model of multistrain tuberculosis with time delay memory is presented. The proposed model is governed by a system of fractional delay differential equations, where the fractional derivative is defined in the sense of the Grünwald–Letinkov definition. Modified parameters are introduced to account for the fractional order. The stability of the equilibrium points is investigated for any time delay. Nonstandard finite deference method is proposed to solve the resulting system of fractional-order delay differential equations. Numerical simulations show that nonstandard finite difference method can be applied to solve such fractional delay differential equations simply and effectively.

In this paper, the approximation technique proposed in [1] for converting a system of constant-coefficient delay differential equations (DDEs) into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using pseudospectral differencing is applied to both constant and periodic systems of DDEs. Specifically, the use of Chebyshev spectral collocation is proposed in order to obtain the “spectral accuracy” convergence behavior shown in [1]. The proposed technique is used to study the stability of first and second order constant coefficient DDEs with one or two fixed delays with or without cubic nonlinearity and parametric sinusoidal excitation, as well as of the delayed Mathieu’s equation. In all the examples, the results of the approximation by the proposed method show good agreement with either analytical results, or the results obtained before by other reliable approximation methods. In particular, the greater accuracy and convergence properties of this method compared to the finite difference-based continuous time approximation proposed recently in [2] is shown.

The aim of this paper is to establish a connecting thread through the probabilistic concepts ofpth-moment Lyapunov exponents, the integral averaging method, and Hale's reduction approach for delay dynamical systems. We demonstrate this connection by studying the stability of perturbed deterministic and stochastic differential equations with fixed time delays in the displacement and derivative functions. Conditions guaranteeing stable and unstable solution response are derived. It is felt that the connecting thread provides a unified framework for the stability study of delay differential equations in the deterministic and stochastic sense.

In this paper, the Bogdanov–Takens (B–T) and triple zero bifurcations are investigated for coupled van der Pol–Duffing oscillators with [Formula: see text] symmetry, in the presence of time delays due to the intrinsic response and coupling. Different from previous works, third order unfolding normal forms associated with B–T and triple zero bifurcations are needed, which are obtained by using the normal form theory of delay differential equations. Numerical simulations are also presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

In this paper, we consider the stability problem of delay differential equations in the sense of Hyers-Ulam-Rassias. Recently this problem has been solved for bounded intervals, our result extends and improve the literature by obtaining stability in unbounded intervals. An illustrative example is also given to compare these results and visualize the improvement.

In general, quantity competition and price competition exist simultaneously in a dynamic economy system. Whether it is quantity competition or price competition, when there are more than three companies in one market, the equilibrium points will become chaotic and are very difficult to be derived. This paper considers generally dynamic equilibrium points of combination of the Bertrand model and Cournot model. We analyze general equilibrium points of the Bertrand model and Cournot model, respectively. A general equilibrium point of the combination of the Cournot model and Bertrand model is further investigated in two cases. The theory of spatial agglomeration and intermediate value theorem are introduced. In addition, the stability of equilibrium points is further illustrated on celestial bodies motion. The results show that at least a general equilibrium point exists in combination of Cournot and Bertrand. Numerical simulations are given to support the research results.
