Time-delay chaotic systems refer to the hyperchaotic systems with multiple positive Lyapunov exponents. It is characterized by more complex dynamics and a wider range of applications as compared to those non-time-delay chaotic systems. In a three-dimensional general Lorenz chaotic system, time delays can be applied at different positions to build multiple heterogeneous Lorenz systems with a single time delay. Despite the same equilibrium point for multiple heterogeneous Lorenz systems with single time delay, their stability and Hopf bifurcation conditions are different due to the difference in time delay position. In this paper, the theory of nonlinear dynamics is applied to investigate the stability of the heterogeneous single-time-delay Lorenz system at the zero equilibrium point and the conditions required for the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation. First of all, the equilibrium point of each heterogeneous Lorenz system is calculated, so as to determine the condition that only zero equilibrium point exists. Then, an analysis is conducted on the distribution of the corresponding characteristic equation roots at the zero equilibrium point of the system to obtain the critical point of time delay at which the system is asymptotically stable at the zero equilibrium point and the Hopf bifurcation. Finally, mathematical software is applied to carry out simulation verification. Heterogeneous Lorenz systems with time delay have potential applications in secure communication and other fields.
In this paper, we consider the diffusive Nicholsons blowflies model in spatially heterogeneous environment when the diffusion rate is large. We show that the ratio of the average of the maximum per capita egg production rate to that of the death rate affects the dynamics of the model. The unique positive steady state is locally asymptotically stable if the ratio is less than a critical value. However, when the ratio is greater than the critical value, large time delay can make the unique positive steady state unstable through Hopf bifurcation. Especially, the first Hopf bifurcation value tends to that of the average DDE model when the diffusion rate tends to infinity. Moreover, we show that the direction of the Hopf bifurcation is forward, and the bifurcating periodic solution from the first Hopf bifurcation value is orbitally asymptotically stable, which improves the earlier result by Wei and Li (Nonlinear. Anal., 60: 1351-1367, 2005).
We consider the dynamics of a two-dimensional ordinary differential equation exhibiting a Hopf bifurcation subject to additive white noise and identify three dynamical phases: (I) a random attractor with uniform synchronisation of trajectories, (II) a random attractor with non-uniform synchronisation of trajectories and (III) a random attractor without synchronisation of trajectories. The random attractors in phases (I) and (II) are random equilibrium points with negative Lyapunov exponents while in phase (III) there is a so-called random strange attractor with positive Lyapunov exponent. We analyse the occurrence of the different dynamical phases as a function of the linear stability of the origin (deterministic Hopf bifurcation parameter) and shear (ampitude-phase coupling parameter). We show that small shear implies synchronisation and obtain that synchronisation cannot be uniform in the absence of linear stability at the origin or in the presence of sufficiently strong shear. We provide numerical results in support of a conjecture that irrespective of the linear stability of the origin, there is a critical strength of the shear at which the system dynamics loses synchronisation and enters phase (III).
In this paper, we show the existence of Hopf bifurcation of a delayed single population model with patch structure. The effect of the dispersal rate on the Hopf bifurcation is considered. Especially, if each patch is favorable for the species, we show that when the dispersal rate tends to zero, the limit of the Hopf bifurcation value is the minimum of the local Hopf bifurcation values over all patches. On the other hand, when the dispersal rate tends to infinity, the Hopf bifurcation value tends to that of the average model.
Many dynamic processes involve time delays, thus their dynamics are governed by delay differential equations (DDEs). Studying the stability of dynamic systems is critical, but analyzing the stability of time-delay systems is challenging because DDEs are infinite-dimensional. We propose a new approach to quickly generate stability charts for DDEs using continuation of characteristic roots (CCR). In our CCR method, the roots of the characteristic equation of a DDE are written as implicit functions of the parameters of interest, and the continuation equations are derived in the form of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Numerical continuation is then employed to determine the characteristic roots at all points in a parametric space; the stability of the original DDE can then be easily determined. A key advantage of the proposed method is that a system of linearly independent ODEs is solved rather than the typical strategy of solving a large eigenvalue problem at each grid point in the domain. Thus, the CCR method significantly reduces the computational effort required to determine the stability of DDEs. As we demonstrate with several examples, the CCR method generates highly accurate stability charts, and does so up to 10 times faster than the Galerkin approximation method.
In this paper we study the stabilization of rotating waves using time delayed feedback control. It is our aim to put some recent results in a broader context by discussing two different methods to determine the stability of the target periodic orbit in the controlled system: 1) by directly studying the Floquet multipliers and 2) by use of the Hopf bifurcation theorem. We also propose an extension of the Pyragas control scheme for which the controlled system becomes a functional differential equation of neutral type. Using the observation that we are able to determine the direction of bifurcation by a relatively simple calculation of the root tendency, we find stability conditions for the periodic orbit as a solution of the neutral type equation.
