Bifurcation Analysis of an SIRS Epidemic Model with Generalized Incidence

TL;DR: An SIRS epidemic model, with a generalized nonlinear incidence as a function of the number of infected individuals, is developed and analyzed, and it is shown that $\R$, called the basic reproductive number, is independent of the functional form of the incidence.

Experimental Study of a Symmetrical Piecewise Base-Excited Oscillator

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study on a base-excited piecewise linear oscillator with symmetrical flexible constrains of high stiffness ratio (above 20) is presented.

Modelling autonomous oscillations in the human pupil light reflex using non-linear delay-differential equations

TL;DR: This model provides a general framework to study the different types of dynamical behaviors which can be produced by the pupil light reflex, e.g. edge-light pupil cycling.

Beyond the odd number limitation: A bifurcation analysis of time-delayed feedback control

TL;DR: The computations show that unstable limit cycles with an odd number of positive Floquet exponents can be stabilized by time-delayed feedback control, contrary to incorrect claims in the literature.
