Local and global bifurcations at infinity in models of glycolytic oscillations

 We investigate two models of glycolytic oscillations. Each model consists of two coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Both models are found to have a saddle point at infinity and to exhibit a saddle-node bifurcation at infinity, giving rise to a second saddle and a stable node at infinity. Depending on model parameters, a stable limit cycle may blow up to infinite period and amplitude and disappear in the bifurcation, and after the bifurcation, the stable node at infinity then attracts all trajectories. Alternatively, the stable node at infinity may coexist with either a stable sink (not at infinity) or a stable limit cycle. This limit cycle may then disappear in a heteroclinic bifurcation at infinity in which the unstable manifold from one saddle at infinity joins the stable manifold of the other saddle at infinity. These results explain prior reports for one of the models concerning parameter values for which the system does not admit any physical (bounded) behavior. Analytic results on the scaling of amplitude and period close to the bifurcations are obtained and confirmed by numerical computations. Finally, we consider more realistic modified models where all solutions are bounded and show that some of the features stemming from the bifurcations at infinity are still present.

Phase resetting and bifurcation in the ventricular myocardium.

With the dynamic differential equations of Beeler, G. W., and H. Reuter (1977, J. Physiol. [Lond.]. 268:177-210), we have studied the oscillatory behavior of the ventricular muscle fiber stimulated by a depolarizing applied current I app. The dynamic solutions of BR equations revealed that as I app increases, a periodic repetitive spiking mode appears above the subthreshold I app, which transforms to a periodic spiking-bursting mode of oscillations, and finally to chaos near the suprathreshold I app (i.e., near the termination of the periodic state). Phase resetting and annihilation of repetitive firing in the ventricular myocardium were demonstrated by a brief current pulse of the proper magnitude applied at the proper phase. These phenomena were further examined by a bifurcation analysis. A bifurcation diagram constructed as a function of I app revealed the existence of a stable periodic solution for a certain range of current values. Two Hopf bifurcation points exist in the solution, one just above the lower periodic limit point and the other substantially below the upper periodic limit point. Between each periodic limit point and the Hopf bifurcation, the cell exhibited the coexistence of two different stable modes of operation; the oscillatory repetitive firing state and the time-independent steady state. As in the Hodgkin-Huxley case, there was a low amplitude unstable periodic state, which separates the domain of the stable periodic state from the stable steady state. Thus, in support of the dynamic perturbation methods, the bifurcation diagram of the BR equation predicts the region where instantaneous perturbations, such as brief current pulses, can send the stable repetitive rhythmic state into the stable steady state.     

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

Neurophysiological and anatomical observations are used to derive a non-linear delay-differential equation for the pupil light reflex with negative feedback. As the gain or the time delay in the reflex is increased, a supercritical Hopf bifurcation occurs from a stable fixed point to a stable limit cycle oscillation in pupil area. A Hopf bifurcation analysis is used to determine the conditions for instability and the period and amplitude of these oscillations. The more complex waveforms typical of the occurrence of higher order bifurcations were not seen in numerical simulations of the model. 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.     

Homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits to a cycle in a tri-trophic food chain

 The asymptotic behavior of a tri-trophic food chain model is studied. The analysis is carried out numerically, by finding both local and global bifurcations of equilibria and limit cycles. The existence of transversal homoclinic orbits to a limit cycle is shown. The appearance of homoclinic orbits, by moving through a homoclinic bifurcation point, is associated with the sudden disappearance of a chaotic attractor. A homoclinic bifurcation curve, which bounds a region of extinction, is continued through a two-dimensional parameter space. Heteroclinic orbits from an equilibrium to a limit cycle are computed. The existence of these heteroclinic orbits has important consequences on the domains of attraction. Continuation of non-transversal heteroclinic orbits through parameter space shows the existence of two codimension-two bifurcations points, where the saddle cycle is non-hyperbolic. The results are summarized by dividing the parameter space in subregions with different asymptotic behavior. Received: 25 February 1998 / Revised version: 19 August 1998     

Oscillatory dynamics in rock-paper-scissors games with mutations

We study the oscillatory dynamics in the generic three-species rock-paper-scissors games with mutations. In the mean-field limit, different behaviors are found: (a) for high mutation rate, there is a stable interior fixed point with coexistence of all species; (b) for low mutation rates, there is a region of the parameter space characterized by a limit cycle resulting from a Hopf bifurcation; (c) in the absence of mutations, there is a region where heteroclinic cycles yield oscillations of large amplitude (not robust against noise). After a discussion on the main properties of the mean-field dynamics, we investigate the stochastic version of the model within an individual-based formulation. Demographic fluctuations are therefore naturally accounted and their effects are studied using a diffusion theory complemented by numerical simulations. It is thus shown that persistent erratic oscillations (quasi-cycles) of large amplitude emerge from a noise-induced resonance phenomenon. We also analytically and numerically compute the average escape time necessary to reach a (quasi-)cycle on which the system oscillates at a given amplitude.     

Effects of density-dependent migrations on stability of a two-patch predator-prey model

We consider a predator-prey model in a two-patch environment and assume that migration between patches is faster than prey growth, predator mortality and predator-prey interactions. Prey (resp. predator) migration rates are considered to be predator (resp. prey) density-dependent. Prey leave a patch at a migration rate proportional to the local predator density. Predators leave a patch at a migration rate inversely proportional to local prey population density. Taking advantage of the two different time scales, we use aggregation methods to obtain a reduced (aggregated) model governing the total prey and predator densities. First, we show that for a large class of density-dependent migration rules for predators and prey there exists a unique and stable equilibrium for migration. Second, a numerical bifurcation analysis is presented. We show that bifurcation diagrams obtained from the complete and aggregated models are consistent with each other for reasonable values of the ratio between the two time scales, fast for migration and slow for local demography. Our results show that, under some particular conditions, the density dependence of migrations can generate a limit cycle. Also a co-dim two Bautin bifurcation point is observed in some range of migration parameters and this implies that bistability of an equilibrium and limit cycle is possible.     

Ionic channel density of excitable membranes can act as a bifurcation parameter

As the maximal K⁺-conductance (or K⁺-channel density) of the Hodgkin-Huxley equations is reduced, the stable resting membrane potential bifurcates at a subcritical Hopf bifurcation into small amplitude unstable oscillations. These small amplitude solutions jump to large amplitude periodic solutions that correspond to a repetitive discharge of action potentials. Thus the specific channel density can act as a bifurcation parameter, and can control the excitability and autorhythmicity of excitable membranes.     

Multiple limit cycles in the standard model of three species competition for three essential resources

We consider the dynamics of the standard model of 3 species competing for 3 essential (non-substitutable) resources in a chemostat using Liebig's law of the minimum functional response. A subset of these systems which possess cyclic symmetry such that its three single-population equilibria are part of a heteroclinic cycle bounding the two-dimensional carrying simplex is examined. We show that a subcritical Hopf bifurcation from the coexistence equilibrium together with a repelling heteroclinic cycle leads to the existence of at least two limit cycles enclosing the coexistence equilibrium on the carrying simplex- the ``inside' one is an unstable separatrix and the ``outside' one is at least semi-stable relative to the carrying simplex. Numerical simulations suggest that there are exactly two limit cycles and that almost every positive solution approaches either the stable limit cycle or the stable coexistence equilibrium, depending on initial conditions. Bifurcation diagrams confirm this picture and show additional features. In an alternative scenario, we show that the subcritical Hopf together with an attracting heteroclinic cycle leads to an unstable periodic orbit separatrix.

Bifurcation diagram of a model chemical reaction—I. Stability changes of time-periodic solutions

The stability properties of the first two time-periodic solutions bifurcating from an unstable uniform steady-state are analyzed for a model chemical system subject to zero fluxes at the boundaries. The existence of new (secondary) bifurcation points is investigated on the small amplitude solutions and calculated analytically in the limit of small diffusion coefficients.
