Dynamical behaviors of the periodic parameter-switching system

In this paper, a periodic parameter-switching system about Lorenz oscillators is established. To investigate the bifurcation behavior of this system, Poincaré mapping of the whole system is defined by suitable local sections and local mappings. The location of the fixed point and the parameter values of local bifurcations are calculated by the shooting method and Runge–Kutta method. Then based on the Floquent theory, we conclude that the period-doubling and saddle-node bifurcations play an important role in the generation of various periodic solutions and chaos. Meanwhile, upon the analysis of the equilibrium points of the subsystems, we explore the mechanisms of different periodic switching oscillations.
