摘要
Under some minor technical hypotheses, for each T larger than a certain rS > 0, Krisztin, Walther and Wu showed the existence of a periodic orbit for the positive feedback delay differential equation x(t) = -rμx(t) + rf(x(t-1)), where r and μ are positive constants and f : R → R satisfies f(0) = 0 and f' > 0. Combining this with a unique result of Krisztin and Walther, we know that this periodic orbit is the one branched out from 0 through Hopf bifurcation. Using the normal form theory for delay differential equations, we show the same result under the condition that f ∈ C3(R,R) is such that f''(0) = 0 and f'''(0) < 0, which is weaker than those of Krisztin and Walther.
