On some properties of elliptic and parabolic functional differential operators arising in nonlinear optics (Q2519245)

Sufficient conditions of the Andronov-Hopf bifurcation of periodic solutions are obtained for a quasilinear parabolic functional differential equation \[ \frac{\partial u(x,t)}{\partial t} +u(x,t)=D\Delta u(x,t)+K\left( 1+\sum_{i=1}^N \gamma_i \cos(u(g_i(x),t))\right) \] with multiple transformations of spatial variables in lower terms. These conditions generalize some results of Skubachevskii.
