dynamical system described by the ordinary differential equation (ODE)

A local bifurcation occurs at if the Jacobian matrix has an eigenvalue with zero real part. If the eigenvalue is equal to zero, the bifurcation is a steady-state bifurcation, but if the eigenvalue is non-zero but purely imaginary, this is a Hopf bifurcation.
