摘要

This paper formulates a new three-dimensional chaotic system that originates from the Lorenz system, which is different from the known Lorenz system, Rossler system, Chen system, and includes Lu systems as its special case. By using the center manifold theorem, the stability character of its non-hyperbolic equilibria is obtained. The Hopf bifurcation and the degenerate pitchfork bifurcation, the local character of stable manifold and unstable manifold, are also in detail shown when the parameters of this system vary in the space of parameters. Corresponding bifurcation cases are illustrated by numerical simulations, too. The existence or non-existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits of this system is also studied by both rigorous theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.
