What do you mean by bifurcation of the following equations/systems?

41 Views Asked by At

I am new to the domain of bifurcation. I encounter the following problems:

Analyze the bifurcation of the following equations/systems. Identify the bifurcation values(s), describe the bifurcation and sketch the bifurcation diagram where appropriate.

$\bullet \frac{dx}{dt} = ax+a-1.$

$\bullet \frac{dx}{dt} = x +ay, \frac{dy}{dt} = (a+3)x+ay.$


Can someone give me some reference where I can look up for these type of problems? Or help me in doing these?

Thank You.
