Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 14Bifurcation Analysis of a Modified Tumor-Immune System Interaction Model Involving Time Delay(Edp Sciences S A, 2017) Kayan, S.; Merdan, H.; Yafia, R.; Goktepe, S.; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiWe study stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of a model that refers to the competition between the immune system and an aggressive host such as a tumor. The model which describes this competition is governed by a reaction-diffusion system including time delay under the Neumann boundary conditions, and is based on Kuznetsov-Taylor's model. Choosing the delay parameter as a bifurcation parameter, we first show that Hopf bifurcation occurs. Second, we determine two properties of the periodic solution, namely its direction and stability, by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction for partial functional differential equations. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of diffusion on the dynamics by analyzing a model with constant coefficients and perform some numerical simulations to support the analytical results. The results show that diffusion has an important effects on the dynamics of a mathematical model.Article Effects of the Random Walk and the Maturation Period in a Diffusive Predator-Prey System With Two Discrete Delays(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Goktepe, S.; Merdan, H.; Bilazeroglu, S.; 49206; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 02.02. Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat FakültesiThis study aims to present a complete Hopf bifurcation analysis of a model describing the relationship between prey and predator. A ratio-dependent reaction-diffusion system with two discrete time delays operating under Neumann boundary conditions governs the model that represents this competition. The bifurcation parameter for the analysis is a delay parameter that reflects the amount of time needed for the predator to be able to hunt. Bilazeroglu and Merdan's algorithm (Bilazeroglu et al., 2021), which is developed by using the center manifold theorem and normal form theory, is used to establish the existence of Hopf bifurcations and also the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. The same procedure is used to illustrate some specific bifurcation properties, such as direction, stability, and period. Furthermore, by examining a model with constant coefficients, we also analyze how diffusion and the amount of time needed for prey to mature impact the model's dynamics. To support the obtained analytical results, we also run some numerical simulations. The results indicate that the dynamic of the mathematical model is significantly influenced by diffusion, the amount of time needed for the predator to gain the capacity to hunt, and the amount of time required for prey to reach maturity that the predator can hunt.
