This paper is concerned with a two-species predator-prey reaction-diffusion system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response and subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. By linearizing the system at the positive constant steady-state solution and analyzing the associated characteristic equation in detail, the asymptotic stability of the positive constant steady-state solution and the existence of local Hopf bifurcations are investigated. Also, it is shown that the appearance of the diffusion and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions can lead to the appearance of codimension two Bagdanov-Takens bifurcation. Moreover, by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction for partial differential equations (PDEs), the explicit algorithm determining the direction of Hopf bifurcations and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions is given. Finally, numerical simulations supporting the theoretical analysis are also included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper provides further results on bifurcation analysis of indirect field oriented control of induction motors. Previous results presented on this subject [Bazanella & Reginatto, 2000, 2001; Gordillo et al., 2002] are summarized and extended by means of a codimension-two bifurcation analysis. It is shown that codimension-two bifurcation phenomena, such as a Bogdanov–Takens and zero–Hopf bifurcations, occur in IFOC as a result of parameter mismatch and certain setting of the proportional-integral speed controller. Conditions for the existence of such bifurcations are derived analytically, as long as possible, and bifurcation diagrams are presented with the help of simulation and numerical bifurcation analysis.
