Stability and Andronov-Hopf Bifurcation of a System with Three Time Delays

الملخص EN

A general system of three autonomous ordinary differential equations with three discrete time delays is considered.

With respect to the delays, we investigate the local stability of equilibria by analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation.

Using the Hopf bifurcation theorem, we predict the occurrence of a limit cycle bifurcation for the time delay parameters.

Thus, some new mathematical results are obtained.

Finally, the above mentioned criteria are applied to a system modelling miRNA regulation.
