Stability and bifurcation in a generalized delay prey-predator model

The present paper considers a generalized prey-predator model with time delay. It studies the stability of the nontrivial positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation for this system by choosing delay as a bifurcation parameter and analyzes the associated characteristic equation. The researcher investigates the direction of this bifurcation by using an explicit algorithm. Eventually, some numerical simulations are carried out to support the analytical results.
