Hopf bifurcation analysis of two neurons with three delays (Q2472911): Difference between revisions

The authors study linear stability and give conditions and direction for Hopf bifurcations in the following system of coupled delay differential equations (two neurons with three delays) \[ \begin{aligned} \dot{x}(t) & = - x(t) +a_{11}f(x(t-\tau)) +a_{12}f(y(t-\tau_1)) ,\\ \dot{y}(t) & = - y(t) +a_{21}f(x(t-\tau_2)) +a_{22}f(y(t-\tau)). \end{aligned} \] Here \(x\) and \(y\) are scalar variables corresponding to two neurons, \(\tau_j\) denote the transmission delays, \(a_{ij}\) are synaptic weights. Additionally, \(f(0)=0\) so that the zero solution is the equilibrium, which produces Hopf bifurcations studied.
