This system possesses a rich bifurcation structure, which we explore numerically via Lyapunov diagrams and bifurcation analysis in a two-parameter plane. This structure is organized by a codimension-2 point where an equilibrium state has eigenvalues <span>((0,iomega,-iomega))</span> and a homoclinic loop. From this point, two important bifurcation curves originate: the Andronov – Hopf bifurcation curve, corresponding to the birth of a stable periodic orbit from an equilibrium state, and the Andronov – Vitt – Shilnikov bifurcation curve, corresponding to the birth of a stable periodic orbit from a homoclinic loop of a saddle-node equilibrium. We show how chaotic attractors and repellers emerge from equilibrium states, grow, and merge into mixed dynamics. We also discuss the connection of this organizing codimension-2 point with the blue sky catastrophe phenomenon: the birth of a stable periodic orbit of infinite period and length.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":752,"journal":{"name":"Regular and Chaotic Dynamics","volume":"31 Editors:","pages":"669 - 690"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149214559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
