Local Bifurcations in a Nonlinear Model of a Bioreactor

Dimitrova, Neli (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

This paper is partially supported by the Bulgarian Science Fund under grant Nr. DO 02– 359/2008. We consider a nonlinear model of a continuously stirred bioreactor and study the stability of the equilibrium points with respect to practically important model parameters. We determine regions in the parameter space where the steady states undergo transcritical and Hopf bifurcations. In the latter case, the stability of the emerged limit cycles is also studied. Numerical simulations...

Bifurcation Thresholds in an SIR Model with Information-Dependent Vaccination

A. d'Onofrio, P. Manfredi, P. Manfredi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Simple epidemiological models with information dependent vaccination functions can generate sustained oscillations via Hopf bifurcation of the endemic state. The onset of these oscillations depend on the shape of the vaccination function. A “global” approach is used to characterize the instability condition and identify classes of functions that always lead to stability/instability. The analysis allows the identification of an analytically determined “threshold vaccination function”...
