There are two FPs when 1 + 13 µ > 0 or µ > −3; one FP when µ = −3; and no FPs
when µ < −3. Therefore µc = −3.
µ < µc
µ = µc
µ > µc

> 0 for all values of µ and x.
At the origin τ = −µ − 1, ∆ = µ − 1. When µ is near 1 τ < 0 and ∆ changes its sign.
∆ < 0 and the origin is a saddle when µ < 1; ∆ > 0 and the origin is a stable node when
µ > 1. Hence a bifurcation occur at the origin at µc = 1.
At (x∗ , y ∗ ) = µ1 − 1, 1 − µ τ = −µ − 1, ∆ = µ − µ2 = µ(1 − µ). When µ is near 1
τ < 0 and ∆ changes its sign. ∆ < 0 and the FP is a saddle when µ > 1; ∆ > 0 and
the origin is a stable node when µ < 1. Hence a bifurcation occur at the FP at µc = 1.
Since the second FP approaches the origin as µ approaches 1 from either side, the bifurcation
is transcritical.

Solution: There isqa FP at the origin when r = 0. If µ < 0 then there is a limit
cycle of radius r = 4 − 83 µ which disappears when µ > 0.

6. Show that there is an ellipsoidal trapping region E of the form rx2 +σy 2 +σ(z−2r)2 ≤ R2
for the Lorenz system
ẋ = σ(y − x), ẏ = rx − y − xz, ż = xy − bz
Solution: Let A = rx2 + σy 2 + σ(z − 2r)2 . Then Ȧ = 2rxẋ + 2σy ẏ + 2σ(z − 2r)ż.
Ȧ = 2rxσ(y − x) + 2σy(rx − y − xz) + 2σ(z − 2r)(xy − bz)
= −2σ (rx2 + y 2 + bz 2 − 2brz) = −2σ (rx2 + y 2 + b(z − r)2 − br2 ).
So, if rx2 + y 2 + b(z − r)2 − br2 > 0 then Ȧ < 0 and A decreases along trajectories of
the Lorenz system.
In other words, A decreases along trajectories outside the ellipsoid rx2 +y 2 +b(z−r)2 ≤ br2 .
Take R2 > br2 .
Then A decreases along trajectories on the ellipsoid rx2 + y 2 + b(z − r)2 = R2 .
The last means that all trajectories go inside the ellipsoid.
Hence the ellipsoidal region E : rx2 + σy 2 + σ(z − 2r)2 ≤ R2 is a trapping region for the
Lorenz system.
