Hopf bifurcation of a nonlinear Lasota-Wazewska-type population model with maturation delay
Jing Li, Zaihua Wang
Abstract: In this paper, the stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of a nonlinear LasotaWazewska-type population model with maturation delay are presented. It shows that the system may exhibit stability switches as the delay crosses the critical values of delay, where a Hopf bifurcation may occur. On the basis of the newly developed method of pseudoenergy that involves easy computation only, the local dynamics near a Hopf bifurcation is determined by that of the generated pseudo-vibration system. The numerical simulation is in very good agreement with the theoretical prediction.
Keywords: time delay, stability switches, Hopf bifurcation, pseudo-energy analysis
