Abstract

The Hopf bifurcation theorem describes the creation of a limit cycle from an isolated singular point of a system of first-order differential equations depending on a parameter. This paper describes a method for determining explicitly a range of values of the parameter throughout which the Hopf configuration continues to exist; only the three-dimensional case is described in this paper, but the method can be generalized.
