Abstract: This paper is concerned with a delayed cooperation diffusion system with Dirichlet boundary conditions. By applying the implicit function theorem, the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction, the asymptotic stability of positive equilibrium and Hopf bifurcation are investigated. It is shown that an increase in delay will destabilize the positive equilibrium and lead to the occurrence of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation when the delay crosses through a sequence of critical values. Based on the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction for partial functional differential equations (PFDEs), we find that the bifurcating periodic solution occurring from the first Hopf bifurcation point is stable on the center manifold and those occurring from the other bifurcation points are unstable. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to illustrate our results.
