## Stability and bifurcation in a delayed predator-prey system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response.(English)Zbl 1051.34060

Authors’ abstract: We consider a delayed predator-prey system with Beddington–DeAngelis functional response. The stability of the interior equilibrium is studied by analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation. By choosing the delay $$\tau$$ as a bifurcation parameter, we show that Hopf bifurcation can occur as the delay $$\tau$$ crosses some critical values. The direction and stability of the Hopf bifurcation are investigated by following the procedure of deriving a normal form given by Faria and Magalhaes. An example is given and numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the obtained results.
