An analysis of two degenerate double-Hopf bifurcations

<abstract><p>The generic double-Hopf bifurcation is presented in detail in literature in textbooks like references. In this paper we complete the study of the double-Hopf bifurcation with two degenerate (or nongeneric) cases. In each case one of the generic conditions is not satisfied. The normal form and the corresponding bifurcation diagrams in each case are obtained. New possibilities of behavior which do not appear in the generic case were found.</p></abstract>

Hopf bifurcation analysis in a stage-structure predator–prey model with two time delay

In this paper, we consider a predator-prey system with two time delays, which describes a prey–predator model with parental care for predators. The local stability of the positive equilibrium is analysed. By choosing the two time delays as the bifurcation parameter, the existence of Hopf bifurcation is studied. Numerical simulations show the positive equilibrium loses its stability via the Hopf bifurcation when the time delay increases beyond a threshold.

Higher dimensional topology and generalized Hopf bifurcations for discrete dynamical systems

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper we study generalized Poincaré-Andronov-Hopf bifurcations of discrete dynamical systems. We prove a general result for attractors in <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ n $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-dimensional manifolds satisfying some suitable conditions. This result allows us to obtain sharper Hopf bifurcation theorems for fixed points in the general case and other attractors in low dimensional manifolds. Topological techniques based on the notion of concentricity of manifolds play a substantial role in the paper.</p>
