Abstract We consider the system of delay differential equations (DDE) representing the models containing two cells with time-delayed connections. We investigate global, local stability and the bifurcations of the trivial solution under some generic conditions on the Taylor coefficients of the DDE. Regarding eigenvalues of the connection matrix as bifurcation parameters, we obtain codimension one bifurcations (including pitchfork, transcritical and Hopf bifurcation) and Takens-Bogdanov bifurcation as a codimension two bifurcation. For application purposes, this is important since one can now identify the possible asymptotic dynamics of the DDE near the bifurcation points by computing quantities which depend explicitly on the Taylor coefficients of the original DDE. Finally, we show that the analytical results agree with numerical simulations.

cell networks formalized in [19–22, 41]. In this theory, coupled cell network is a directed graph with vertices as individual systems (cells) and directed edges as specific output-input connections between cells. Indeed, this graph abstracts dynamical properties of systems are coupled together. It is important to distinguish between a coupled cell network which is an arrangement of cells and connections, and a coupled cell system which is a particular realization of a coupled cell network as a system of coupled differential equations (in our case typically a set of coupled delay differential equations). It is interesting that neural networks can be considered as an application of coupled cell networks which its theories and applications have been greatly developed after the work of [10] and [31]. It is important to note that every neuron can be considered as a cell in cell systems theory but a cell is not only a neuron, see [10, 19–22, 31, 41]. Introducing a single delay into Hopfield network by [36] showed that delay could destroy stability and cause sustained oscillations. Then many authors ([23, 44] and so on) have been interested in studying delay neural network. Studies in recently decades [4, 5, 14, 15, 27, 31, 39, 40, 42, 46–49] show that dynamics properties (including stable, unstable, oscillatory and chaotic behavior) of dynamical systems with delay have attracted great attention of many researchers.
