The existence of \( \omega \)-limit set for a modified Nosé-Hoover oscillator (Q2081985)

The authors consider the modified Nosé-Hoover system \[ \begin{aligned} & \dot{x}=y, \\ & \dot{y}=-x-yz, \\ & \dot{z}=\alpha \left( y^2-1-\varepsilon z \right),\\ \end{aligned} \qquad (x,y,z)\in \mathbb{R}^3, \] where \(a,\varepsilon \in \mathbb{R}\) are system parameters. The authors prove the existence of \(\omega\)-limit set for sufficiently small \(\varepsilon >0\) and the existence of either an invariant torus or a stable periodic orbit for \(\varepsilon >0\) large enough. Moreover, numerical simulations show the co-existence of both \(\alpha\)- and \(\omega\)-limit sets of various types of periodic orbits, invariant tori, and chaotic attractors.
