Singularity analysis on a planar system with multiple delays (Q2641363): Difference between revisions

The present paper is concerned with Bogdanov-Takens singularity and Hopf and pitchfork bifurcation for the following model in neutral networks with delay: \[ \left \{ \begin{aligned} \dot u_1(t) =-k u_1(t)+af(u_1(t-r))+b_1 g_1(u_2(t-\tau_2)),\\ \dot u_2(t) =-k u_2(t)+af(u_2(t-r))+b_2 g_2(u_1(t-\tau_2)), \end{aligned} \right. \] where \(k>0,\, r\geq 0\) and \(\tau_i\geq 0\; (i=1.2),\; f, g_1, g_2\in C^3\). By using the center manifold theory and the normal form method, the versal unfoldings of the normal forms at the BT singularity and the singularity of a pure imaginary and a zero eigenvalue are given, respectively. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the theoretical predictions.
