Numerical bifurcation analysis of delay differential equations using DDE-BIFTOOL

Abstract: We describe DDE-BIFTOOL, a Matlab package for numerical bifurcation analysis of systems of delay differential equations with several fixed, discrete delays. The package implements continuation of steady state solutions and periodic solutions and their stability analysis. It also computes and continues steady state fold and Hopf bifurcations and, from the latter, it can switch to the emanating branch of periodic solutions. We describe the numerical methods upon which the package is based and illustrate its usage and capabilities through analysing three examples: two models of coupled neurons with delayed feedback and a model of two oscillators coupled with delay.

Stability and Stabilization of Systems with Time Delay

Abstract: Time-delays are important components of many dynamical systems that describe coupling or interconnection between dynamics, propagation, or transport phenomena in shared environments, in heredity, and in competition in population dynamics. This monograph addresses the problem of stability analysis and the stabilisation of dynamical systems subjected to time-delays. It presents a wide and self-contained panorama of analytical methods and computational algorithms using a unified eigenvalue-based approach illustrated by examples and applications in electrical and mechanical engineering, biology, and complex network analysis.

Spectral Bound and Reproduction Number for Infinite-Dimensional Population Structure and Time Heterogeneity

Abstract: Spectral bounds of quasi-positive matrices are crucial mathematical threshold parameters in population models that are formulated as systems of ordinary differential equations: the sign of the spectral bound of the variational matrix at 0 decides whether, at low density, the population becomes extinct or grows. Another important threshold parameter is the reproduction number $\mathcal{R}$, which is the spectral radius of a related positive matrix. As is well known, the spectral bound and $\mathcal{R}-1$ have the same sign provided that the matrices have a particular form. The relation between spectral bound and reproduction number extends to models with infinite-dimensional state space and then holds between the spectral bound of a resolvent-positive closed linear operator and the spectral radius of a positive bounded linear operator. We also extend an analogous relation between the spectral radii of two positive linear operators which is relevant for discrete-time models. We illustrate the general theory...

Mathematical Modelling of the Internet

Abstract: Modern communication networks are able to respond to randomly fluctuating demands and failures by adapting rates, by rerouting traffic and by reallocating resources. They are able to do this so well that, in many respects, large-scale networks appear as coherent, self-regulating systems. The design and control of such networks present challenges of a mathematical, engineering and economic nature. This paper outlines how mathematical models are being used to address one current set of issues concerning the stability and fairness of rate control algorithms for the Internet.
