Chaos in some planar nonautonomous polynomial differential equation (Q4521775)

Using the topological method for detecting chaotic dynamics based on the Lefschetz fixed point theorem and the Ważewski retract theorem introduced by \textit{R. Srzednicki} and \textit{K. Wójcik} [J. Differ. Equations 135, No. 1, 66-82 (1997; Zbl 0873.58049)] and developed by the author elsewhere, it is shown that under certain assumptions on the function \(f\) the system \[ \dot{z}=\bar{z}(f(z)\exp(i\phi t)+\exp(i2\phi t)) \] generates chaotic dynamics for sufficiently small values of parameter \(\phi.\) Here, chaos is understood as the existence of a compact invariant set such that the Poincaré map is semiconjugate to the shift on two symbols and the counterimage (by the semiconjugacy) of any periodic point in the shift contains a periodic point of the Poincaré map.
