Zero-Hopf Bifurcation at the Origin and Infinity for a Class of Generalized Lorenz System

Abstract

In this paper, the zero-Hopf bifurcations are studied for a generalized Lorenz system. Firstly, by using the averaging theory and normal form theory, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of small amplitude periodic solutions that bifurcate from zero-Hopf equilibria under appropriate parameter perturbations. Secondly, based on the Poincaré compactification, the dynamic behavior of the generalized Lorenz system at infinity is described, and the zero-Hopf bifurcation at infinity is investigated. Additionally, for the above theoretical results, some related illustrations are given by means of the numerical simulation.
