Hopf bifurcation analysis for a model of genetic regulatory system with delay (Q1025025)

The paper investigates a mathematical model that describe a genetic regulatory system. The model has a delay which affects the dynamics of the system. The authors first consider the local stability of the equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcations. By using the normal form theory and center manifold reduction, they derive explicit formulae which determine the stability, direction and other properties of bifurcating periodic solutions. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytic results.
