Abstract This paper considers Hopf bifurcation of complex network with two independent delays. By analyzing the eigenvalue equations, the local stability of the system is studied. Taking delay as parameter, the change of system stability with time is studied and the emergence of inherent bifurcation is given. By changing the value of the delay, the bifurcation of a given system can be controlled. Numerical simulation results confirm the validity of the results found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, an SEIR epidemiological model with saturation incidence and a time delay describing the latent period of the disease is investigated, where it is assumed that the susceptible population is subject to logistic growth in the absence of the disease. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of a disease-free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium is discussed. The existence of Hopf bifurcations at the endemic equilibrium is established. By means of Lyapunov functionals and LaSalle’s invariance principle, it is proved that if the basic reproduction number is less than unity, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and the disease dies out; if the basic reproduction number is greater than unity, sufficient conditions are obtained for the global stability of the endemic equilibrium. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate some theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a delayed ratio-dependent predator–prey model with Holling type III functional response and stage structure for the predator is considered. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of each of the feasible equilibria of the system is addressed and the existence of Hopf bifurcations at the coexistence equilibrium is established. By utilizing normal form method and center manifold theorem, the explicit formulas which determine the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating period solutions are derived. Finally, numerical simulations supporting the theoretical analysis are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We propose a predator–prey ecoepidemic model with parasitic infection in the prey. We assume infection time delay as the time of transmission of disease from susceptible to infectious prey. We examine the effects of supplying additional food to predator in the proposed model. The essential theoretical properties of the model such as local and global stability and in addition bifurcation analysis is done. The parameter thresholds at which the system admits a Hopf bifurcation are investigated in presence of additional food with non-zero time lag. The conditions for permanence of the system are also determined in this paper. Theoretical analysis results are verified through numerical simulations. By supplying additional food we can control predator population in the model. Most important observation is that we can control parasitic infection of prey species by supplying additional food to predator. Eliminating the most infectious individuals from the prey population, predator quarantine the infected prey and prevent the spreading of disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Propose a general single species animal movement model with distributed delays in diffusion and reaction. • Investigate the impact of spatiotemporal delays on stability of memory-based model. • Obtain conditions for the occurrence of Hopf and steady state bifurcations. • Explore dynamics due to the interaction of Hopf and steady state bifurcations. In this paper, we investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of a single-species model with spatiotemporal delays characterizing spatial memory and maturation. Through stability and bifurcation analysis, we find that the spatial memory-based diffusion coefficient, the spatiotemporal diffusive delay and spatiotemporal reaction delay have important effects on the dynamics of the model and their combined impact can cause the destabilization of the positive constant steady state and give rise to steady state and Hopf bifurcations. Taking the coefficient of spatial memory diffusion as the bifurcation parameter, the critical values of steady state and Hopf bifurcations are rigorously determined. Furthermore, we apply the theoretical results to a modified diffusive logistic model with predation and obtain spatially inhomogeneous steady states and spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous periodic solutions via numerical simulations.
