Using the qualitative theory of dynamical systems, the onset and offset of the vocal fold oscillation at phonation has been described by an oscillation hysteresis model [1, 2]. This model is built from the combination of a cyclic fold bifurcation for limit cycles, where a stable and an unstable limit cycle are generated, with a subcritical Hopf bifurcation, where the unstable limit cycle is absorbed. The former bifurcation corresponds to oscillation offset, and the latter to oscillation onset. Thus, onset and offset occur at different bifurcations, and consequently at different values of the control parameter. This model would explain experimental results which show that voice onset and offset during speech occur at different biomechanical configurations of the phonatory system. For example, the subglottal pressure is higher at oscillation onset than at oscillation offset [3], the intraoral pressure is lower [4], the airflow is lower [5], and the glottal width is smaller [6].In previous works [1, 2], the existence of a subcritical Hopf bifurcation was shown by applying the Hopf Bifurcation Theorem [7] to a simple mucosal wave model of the vocal folds [8]. Although the simplicity of this model permitted the theoretical treatment in qualitative terms, it does not allow realistic simulations of the oscillation hysteresis. It would be interesting, as next step, to study the oscillation hysteresis using more elaborated models of the vocal folds. Further, it is desirable to study this phenomenon in terms of voice output parameters such as intensity and fundamental frequency. Such output parameters are
