Global Hopf branches and multiple limit cycles in a delayed Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model (Q2438877)

The authors study a delayed Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey model with Holling Type I and Type II functional responses, and where parameters are delay dependent. They evaluate stability switch as a possible mechanism for the coexistence of stable limit cycles in delayed systems. The stability switches in this model produce bounded global Hopf branches that are nested and when multiple Hopf branches exist, the overlap can produce coexistence of stable limit cycles.
