<< This study analyses the dynamical consequences of heterogeneous temporal delays within a quorum sensing-inspired (QS-inspired) system, specifically addressing the differential response kinetics of two subpopulations to signalling molecules. >>️
<< The analysis reveals the critical role of multiple, dissimilar delays in modulating system dynamics and inducing bifurcations. Numerical simulations, conducted in conjunction with analytical results, reveal the emergence of periodic self-sustained oscillations and intermittent chaotic behaviour. These observations emphasise the intricate relationship between temporal heterogeneity and the stability landscape of systems exhibiting QS-inspired dynamics. This interplay highlights the capacity for temporal variations to induce complex dynamical transitions within such systems. >>️
AA << findings show that the presence of multiple delays, particularly when characterised by significant disparities in magnitude, can dramatically alter the system’s stability features and promote the emergence of complex nonlinear oscillatory behaviour. >>️
<< Upon explicitly incorporating distinct delays for different state-components, (AA) have shown how temporal factors can dramatically influence system stability and give rise to a spectrum of complex dynamical behaviours, including intermittent chaos. >>
