In the recent paper entitled "Hopf bifurcation analysis and ultimate bound estimation of a new 4-D quadratic autonomous hyper-chaotic system" in [Appl. Math. Comput. 291 (2016) 323-339] by Amin Zarei and Saeed Tavakoli, they proposed the following new four-dimensional (4-D) quadratic autonomous hyper-chaotic system: (x) over dot(1) = a (x(2) -x(1)), (x) over dot(2) = bx(1) - x(2) + ex(4) - x(1)x(3), (x) over dot(3) = -cx(3) + x(1)x(2) + x(1)(2), (x) over dot(4) = -dx(2), which generates double-wing chaotic and hyper-chaotic attractors with only one equilibrium point. Combining theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, they investigated some dynamical properties of that system like Lyapunov exponent spectrum, bifurcation diagram, phase portrait, Hopf bifurcation, etc. In particular, they formulated a conclusion that the system has the ellipsoidal ultimate bound by employing the method presented in the paper entitled "Ultimate bound estimation of a class of high dimensional quadratic autonomous dynamical systems"[ Int. J. Bifurc. Chaos, 21(09) (2011), 2679-2694] by P. Wang et al. However, by means of detailed theoretical analysis, we show that both the conclusion itself and the derivation of its proof in [ Appl. Math. Comput. 291 (2016) 323-339] are erroneous. Furthermore, we point out that the method adopted for studying the ultimate bound of that system is not applicable at all. Therefore, the ultimate bound estimation of that system needs further studying in future work.
