BIFURCATION ANALYSIS OF CHEN'S EQUATION

Anticontrol of chaos by making a nonchaotic system chaotic has led to the discovery of some new chaotic systems, particularly the continuous-time three-dimensional autonomous Chen's equation with only two quadratic terms. This paper further investigates some basic dynamical properties and various bifurcations of Chen's equation, thereby revealing its different features from some other chaotic models such as its origin, the Lorenz system.
