Abstract

In this paper, we consider a neural network model consisting of three neurons with delayed self- and nearest-neighbor connections. We provide multiple bifurcations of the zero solution of the system near zero eigenvalue singularity. Taking the coupling coefficients as the bifurcation parameters, four kinds of zero singularities are demonstrated through center manifold reduction and normal form calculation.
