Hopf bifurcations in a Ricardo-Malthus model

摘要

Brander and Taylor presented a simple and basic framework for discussing the problem on human population and renewable natural resources in the year 1998, and D’Alessandro recently extended this work mainly by introducing a nonlinear term into the model, if seeing from the mathematical point of view. A limit cycle in this new model was reported by the author via numerically simulated drawing. In this paper, we show that this limit cycle actually is a bifurcating limit cycle of a one-parameter Hopf bifurcation.
