Abstract：
:The goal of this article is to formulate and analyze the simplest logistic pair-formation model and to contrast its dynamics to that of the corresponding Malthusian pair-formation model, that is, a generalization of the Kendall-Keyfitz model. The Malthusian pair-formation model supports a unique nontrivial stable exponential solution, and it is shown that the logistic pair-formation model supports a unique stable nontrivial bounded solution.

Using the carrying capacity of the environment as the bifurcation parameter, it is shown that the model without delay undergoes a sequence of Hopf bifurcations.

abstract：:Cyclic four-state models are frequently used in biology to represent a variety of molecular behaviors. A common experimental strategy to test such models is to follow the behavior of the real system after some of the rate constants are changed in a stepwise manner. We analyze the mathematical behavior of a simple exam...
