Global dynamics of a modified hybrid Van der Pol-Rayleigh oscillator II

Yuhuan Lu, Rui Zhang

Abstract:
In this article, we study a modified hybrid Van der Pol-Rayleigh oscillator. We consider bifurcation diagrams and global phase portraits in the Poincare disc under some restrictions on the parameters. The resulting bifurcation diagram is complex, containing one saddle-node bifurcation surface at infinity, one cusp bifurcation surface, one Hopf bifurcation surface, and two generalized heteroclinic bifurcation surfaces.
