This paper deals with stability and bifurcation analysis of Marchuk's model of an immune reaction. There are two possible stationary states in the model. One of them describes the healthy state of an organism and the second describes the chronic form of disease. Local stability of the first state do

β¦ Synopsis
some special cases of Marchuk's simplest model of an infectious disease are considered.
We assume that damage to the target organ is not too large so a paralysis effect is neglected and the model reduces to three ordinary differential equations with time delay. The initial condition corresponds to a healthy organism infected by some dose of an antigen at time 0.
It is proved that if the immune system is weak and the antigen reproduction rate is large, then the end of every infection is lethal. This means that the antigen concentration increases to infinity in time.
The same is true if the antigen reproduction rate is small but the initial dose of antigen is sufficiently large.

The global dynamical behavior of a classical power system consisting of n generators is studied in this paper. Existence and uniqueness of an invariant curve in 2n-dimensional space under suitable conditions are proved. The invariant curve is globally attracting so that the system behaves exactly as
