Stability switches for some class of delayed population models

Joanna Skonieczna, Urszula Foryś (2011)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study stability switches for some class of delay differential equations with one discrete delay. We describe and use a simple method of checking the change of stability which originally comes from the paper of Cook and Driessche (1986). We explain this method on the examples of three types of prey-predator models with delay and compare the dynamics of these models under increasing delay.

Modeling the role of constant and time varying recycling delay on an ecological food chain

Banibrata Mukhopadhyay, Rakhi Bhattacharyya (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider a mathematical model of nutrient-autotroph-herbivore interaction with nutrient recycling from both autotroph and herbivore. Local and global stability criteria of the model are studied in terms of system parameters. Next we incorporate the time required for recycling of nutrient from herbivore as a constant discrete time delay. The resulting DDE model is analyzed regarding stability and bifurcation aspects. Finally, we assume the recycling delay in the oscillatory form to...

An epidemic model with a time delay in transmission

Q. J. A. Khan, E. V. Krishnan (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We study a mathematical model which was originally suggested by Greenhalgh and Das and takes into account the delay in the recruitment of infected persons. The stability of the equilibria are also discussed. In addition, we show that the introduction of a time delay in the transmission term can destabilize the system and periodic solutions can arise by Hopf bifurcation.

Delays induced in population dynamics

Eva Sánchez (2003)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This paper provides an introduction to delay differential equations together with a short survey on state-dependent delay differential equations arising in population dynamics. Our main goal is to examine how the delays emerge from inner mechanisms in the model, how they induce oscillations and stability switches in the system and how the qualitative behaviour of a biological model depends on the form of the delay.

A mathematical model describing the thyroid-pituitary axis with time delays in hormone transportation

Banibrata Mukhopadhyay, Rakhi Bhattacharyya (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In the present paper, a mathematical model, originally proposed by Danziger and Elmergreen and describing the thyroid-pituitary homeostatic mechanism, is modified and analyzed for its physiological and clinical significance. The influence of different system parameters on the stability behavior of the system is discussed. The transportation delays of different hormones in the bloodstream, both in the discrete and distributed forms, are considered. Delayed models are analyzed regarding...
