Abstract:
In this article we consider a special type of second-order delay
differential equations. More precisely, we take an equation of a conservative
mechanical system in one dimension with an added term that is a function of the
difference between the value of the position at time t minus the position at
the delayed time
.
For this system, we show that, under certain
conditions of non-degeneration and of convergence of the periodic solutions
obtained by the Homotopy Analysis Method, bifurcation branches appearing in
a neighbourhood of Hopf bifurcation due to the delay are isochronous; i.e.,
all the emerging cycles have the same frequency.
