Bifurcations in stochastic delay differential equations
Bifurcations in stochastic delay differential equations are quite difficult to detect. In this talk, we consider how numerical methods can be used to detect changes in the underlying behaviour of the exact solution of these problems. The talk brings together ideas from deterministic delay differential equations, from stochastic ordinary differential equations and from statistical curve-fitting to provide some interesting new insights into the problem.
