Bifurcations and fast-slow behaviors in a hyperchaotic dynamical system

Abstract: This paper reports a four-dimension (4D) fast-slow hyperchaotic system with the structure of two time scales by adding a slow state variable w into a three-dimension (3D) chaotic dynamical system, studies the stability and Hopf bifurcation of origin point. Furthermore, based on the fast-slow dynamical bifurcation analysis and the phase planes analysis, different bursting phenomena, symmetric fold/fold bursting, symmetric sub-Hopf/sub-Hopf bursting and chaotic bursting, as well as chaotic and periodic spiking, are observed in the fast-slow hyperchaotic system. Numerical simulations are presented to show these results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
