Hopf bifurcation analysis in a delayed Nicholson blowflies equation. (English) Zbl 1144.34373

Summary: The dynamics of a Nicholson’s blowflies equation with a finite delay are investigated. We prove that a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occur at the positive equilibrium as the delay increases. Explicit algorithm for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are derived, using the theory of normal form and center manifold. Global existence of periodic solutions are established using a global Hopf bifurcation result of J. Wu [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 350, 4799–4838 (1998; Zbl 0905.34034)], and a Bendixson criterion for higher dimensional ordinary differential equations due to Y. Li and J. S. Muldowney [ J. Differ. Equations 106, No. 1, 27–39 (1993; Zbl 0786.34033)].
