Description
Summary:Universality classes are defined for an idealized nonlinear system that governs the competition between biological species. The decay to asymptotic steady state is examined for supercritical Hopf bifurcation by considering a phenomenological approach supported by numerical simulations and confirmed by an analytical description. The formalism is general and it is expected to be universal for systems exhibiting Hopf bifurcations.
