Hopf bifurcation analysis and chaos control of a chaotic system without \~Silnikov orbits (Q1723562)

Summary: This paper mainly investigates the dynamical behaviors of a chaotic system without \~Silnikov orbits by the normal form theory. Both the stability of the equilibria and the existence of local Hopf bifurcation are proved in view of analyzing the associated characteristic equation. Meanwhile, the direction and the period of bifurcating periodic solutions are determined. Regarding the delay as a parameter, we discuss the effect of time delay on the dynamics of chaotic system with delayed feedback control. Finally, numerical simulations indicate that chaotic oscillation is converted into a steady state when the delay passes through a certain critical value.
