Bifurcation and Patterns Analysis for a Spatiotemporal Discrete Gierer-Meinhardt System

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.

Computational Analysis and Bifurcation of Regular and Chaotic Ca2+ Oscillations

This study investigated the stability and bifurcation of a nonlinear system model developed by Marhl et al. based on the total Ca2+ concentration among three different Ca2+ stores. In this study, qualitative theories of center manifold and bifurcation were used to analyze the stability of equilibria. The bifurcation parameter drove the system to undergo two supercritical bifurcations. It was hypothesized that the appearance and disappearance of Ca2+ oscillations are driven by them. At the same time, saddle-node bifurcation and torus bifurcation were also found in the process of exploring bifurcation. Finally, numerical simulation was carried out to determine the validity of the proposed approach by drawing bifurcation diagrams, time series, phase portraits, etc.

Stability and Hopf Bifurcation of a Delayed Mutualistic System

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.

Dynamics of Delayed Phytoplankton–Zooplankton System with Disease Spread Among Zooplankton

In this paper, we study the dynamics of phytoplankton–zooplankton system with delay, where delay means that releasing toxin for phytoplankton is not instantaneous. First, we prove the positivity and boundedness of solutions, discuss the Hopf bifurcation caused by delay. Furthermore, we study the property of Hopf bifurcation by center manifold and normal form. Then, we study the global existence of bifurcated periodic solution. Finally by simulation, we show the influence of delay, disease spread and recovery from infected to susceptible on the dynamics of phytoplankton–zooplankton system.

Dynamic Analysis and Hopf Bifurcation of a Lengyel–Epstein System with Two Delays

In this paper, a Lengyel–Epstein model with two delays is proposed and considered. By choosing the different delay as a parameter, the stability and Hopf bifurcation of the system under different situations are investigated in detail by using the linear stability method. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions for the stability of the equilibrium and the Hopf conditions are obtained. In addition, the explicit formula determining the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are obtained with the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem to delay differential equations. Some numerical examples and simulation results are also conducted at the end of this paper to validate the developed theories.

Rigid centres on the center manifold of tridimensional differential systems

Motivated by the definition of rigid centres for planar differential systems, we introduce the study of rigid centres on the center manifolds of differential systems on $\mathbb {R}^{3}$ . On the plane, these centres have been extensively studied and several interesting results have been obtained. We present results that characterize the rigid systems on $\mathbb {R}^{3}$ and solve the centre-focus problem for several families of rigid systems.

Multiple Bifurcations and Complex Responses of Nonlinear Time-Delay Oscillators

In this paper, the dynamical properties of multiple van der Pol-Duffing oscillators with time delays are studied. The amplitude death and bifurcation curves in the parameter plane are determined by using the space decomposition method. Different patterns of bifurcated solutions are given on the basis of the symmetric bifurcation theory. The properties of bifurcated solutions are shown by using the norm forms on the center manifold. The interactions of bifurcations are discussed and their dynamical behaviors are shown. An electronic circuit platform is implemented by means of nonlinear circuit and time delay circuit. The revealed behaviors of the circuit reach an agreement with the obtained results. It is shown that the nonlinearity and time delays have great effects on the system performance and can induce interesting and abundant dynamic features.

Stability and Bifurcation for a Delayed Diffusive Two-Zooplankton One-Phytoplankton Model with Two Different Functions

In this paper, a diffusion two-phytoplankton one-zooplankton model with time delay, Beddington–DeAnglis functional response, and Holling II functional response is proposed. First, the existence and local stability of all equilibria of such model are studied. Then, the existence of Hopf bifurcation of the corresponding model without diffusion is given by taking time delay as the bifurcation parameter. Next, the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are investigated by using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem. Furthermore, due to the local bifurcation theory of partial functional differential equations, Hopf bifurcation of the model is investigated by considering time delay as the bifurcation parameter. The explicit formulas to determine the properties of Hopf bifurcation are given by the method of the normal form theory and center manifold theorem for partial functional differential equations. Finally, some numerical simulations are performed to check out our theoretical results.

Bifurcation Analysis of a Bounded Rational Duopoly Game with Consumer Surplus

The nonlinear dynamical behaviors of economic models have been extensively examined and still represented a great challenge for economists in recent and future years. A proposed boundedly rational game incorporating consumer surplus is introduced. This paper aims at studying stability and bifurcation types of the presented model. The flip and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations are analyzed via applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. This study helps determine an appropriate choice of decision parameters which have significant influences on the behavior of the game. The duopoly game that is formed by considering bounded rationality and consumer surplus is more realistic than the ordinary duopoly game which only has profit maximization. And then, some numerical simulations are provided to verify the theoretical analysis. Finally, we compare the dynamical behaviors of the built model with that of Bischi–Naimzada model so as to better understand the performance of the duopoly game with consumer surplus.
