摘要
In this paper, we consider the effect of distributed time delays on dynamics of a mathematical model of gene expression. Both the weak and strong delay kernels are discussed. Sufficient conditions for the local stability of the unique equilibrium are obtained. Taking the average delay as a bifurcation parameter, we investigate the direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions by using the method of multiple time scales. Finally, numerical simulation is carried out to illustrate our theoretical results. It shows both subcritical and supercritical Hopf bifurcations can happen. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
