摘要
We study the dynamics of a linear scalar delay differential equationmm epsilon u(t) = -gamma u(t) - Sigma(N)(i=1)kappa(i)u(t - a(i) - c(i)u(t)), which has trivial dynamics with fixed delays (c(i) = 0). We show that if the delays are allowed to be linearly state-dependent (c(i) not equal 0) then very complex dynamics can arise, when there are two or more delays. We present a numerical study of the bifurcation structures that arise in the dynamics, in the non-singularly perturbed case, epsilon = 1. We concentrate on the case N - 2 and c(1) = c(2) = c and show the existence of bistability of periodic orbits, stable invariant tori, isola of periodic orbits arising as locked orbits on the torus, and period doubling bifurcations.
