A short proof for Hopf bifurcation in Gurtin-MacCamy's population dynamics model
Abstract
In this paper, we provide a short proof for the Hopf bifurcation theorem in the Gurtin-MacCamy's population dynamics model. Here we use the Crandall and Rabinowitz's approach, based on the implicit function theorem. Compared with previous methods, here we require the age-specific birth rate to be slightly smoother (roughly of bounded variation), but we have a huge gain for the length of the proof.
