摘要:In this paper, a class of neutral neural networks with delays is investigated. The linear stability of the model is studied. It is found that a Hopf bifurcation also occurs when some delays pass through a sequence of critical values. The direction of the Hopf bifurcations and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are determined by using the normal form method and center manifold theory. The existence of a permanent oscillation is established using Chafee’s criterion. Numerical simulations are performed to support the analytical results.
