Linearisation of second-order differential equations.

Eduardo Martínez (1996)

Extracta Mathematicae

Given a second order differential equation on a manifold we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a coordinate system in which the system is linear. The main tool to be used is a linear connection defined by the system of differential equations.

Linearized comparison criteria for a nonlinear neutral differential equation

Xinping Guan, Sui Sun Cheng (1996)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

A class of nonlinear neutral differential equations with variable coefficients and delays is considered. Conditions for the existence of eventually positive solutions are obtained which extend some of the criteria existing in the literature. In particular, a linearized comparison theorem is obtained which establishes a connection between our nonlinear equations and a class of linear neutral equations with constant coefficients.

Local Bifurcations in a Nonlinear Model of a Bioreactor

Dimitrova, Neli (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

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 in the computer algebra...
