Hopf bifurcation Analysis in a Mackey-glass System

The dynamics of a Mackey–Glass equation with delay are investigated. We prove that a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occur at the positive equilibrium as the delay increases. Explicit algorithm for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are derived, using the theory of normal form and center manifold. Global existence of periodic solutions are established using a global Hopf bifurcation result due to Wu [1998] and a Bendixson criterion for higher dimensional ordinary differential equations due to Li and Muldowney [1994].
