Local Bifurcation Analysis and Global Dynamics Estimation of a Novel 4-Dimensional Hyperchaotic System

In this paper, we present a novel 4-dimensional (4D) smooth quadratic autonomous hyperchaotic system with complex dynamics. In order to investigate the dynamics evolution of the system, the Lyapunov exponent spectrum, bifurcation diagram and various phase portraits are provided. The local dynamics of this hyperchaotic system, such as the stability, pitchfork bifurcation, and Hopf bifurcation of equilibrium point, are analyzed by using the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory. About the global dynamics, the ultimate bound sets of the system are found by combining the Lyapunov function method and appropriate optimization method. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the emergence of the two bifurcations and show the ultimate boundary regions.
