Abstract

We study a kind of delayed reaction-diffusion equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. We show the existence of a sequence of values [tau(kn)](n=0,1,2,..) of the parameter tau such that a Hopf bifurcation occurs when the delay passes through each value [tau(kn)]. The main techniques used here are some results on nonlinear eigenvalue problems, the analysis of the characteristic equation of the linearized problem, the Liapunov-Schmidt method and the implicit function theorem.
