Stability and bifurcations in fractional-order gene regulatory networks

作者:

Highlights:

• Stability properties of fractional order gene regulatory networks are investigated.

• For cyclic GRNs, stability conditions on parameters and fractional order are found.

• Hopf bifurcations are discussed with respect to the fractional order in cyclic GRN.

• Persistent oscillations can be seen in cyclic GRNs with odd number of repressors.

• Numerical simulations also reveal period doubling bifurcations of limit cycles.
