Global Hopf Bifurcation Analysis for a Delayed Nicholson's Blowflies Model with Constant Reproductive Supply
Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of a delayed Nicholson's blowflies equation incorporating a constant reproductive supply that influences both density-dependent competition and egg production. The existence and local stability of the positive equilibrium are characterized via the analysis of the associated implicit and characteristic equations. Both local and global Hopf bifurcations are examined to establish conditions for the emergence of periodic solutions. Analytical and numerical results show that increasing the reproductive supply can restore the stability of the positive equilibrium by increasing the critical delay for the onset of Hopf bifurcation, in parameter regimes where sustained oscillations would otherwise occur.
