Impulsive Differential Equations and Inclusions

We establish an analytic local Hopf bifurcation theorem and a topological global Hopf bifurcation theorem to detect the existence and to describe the spatial-temporal pattern, the asymptotic form and the global continuation of bifurcations of periodic wave solutions for functional differential equations in the presence of symmetry. We apply these general results to obtain the coexistence of multiple large-amplitude wave solutions for the delayed Hopfield-Cohen-Grossberg model of neural networks with a symmetric circulant connection matrix.

Oscillation Theory for Functional Differential Equations

We study the existence of positive solutions of the equation u" + a(t)f(u) = 0 with linear boundary conditions. We show the existence of at least one positive solution if f is either superlinear or sublinear by a simple application of a Fixed Point Theorem in cones.

Multiple Positive Solutions of Some Boundary Value Problems

This paper establishes some maximum and comparison principles relative to lower and upper solutions of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations with impulsive effects. These principles are applied to obtain some sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of a unique positive equilibrium in a reaction-diffusion equation modeling the growth of a single-species population subject to abrupt changes of certain important system parameters.

Comparison principles for impulsive parabolic equations with applications to models of single species growth

Models of three-species food chains incorporating mutual interference among predators and time delays due to gestation are proposed. We consider the case that for such models an interior equilibrium exists. In the case that the equilibrium is stable with no delays, the length of delay is estimated for which stability continues to hold. Further, conditions are derived under which there can be no change of stability.
