Fig.1.103. The first example of the specific equations undergoing the catastrophe was given by N. Gavrilov and A. Shilnikov:
(1). dx/dt = x (2+μ-β(x2+y2))+z2+y2+2y
(2). dy/dt = -z3-(1+y)(z2+y2+2y)-4x+μy
(3). dz/dt = (1+y)z2+x2+η
With β=10, μ=0.456, η=0.0357
A bleu sky orbit underlying catastrophe, i.e. blue sky bifurcation. For [x,y,z]. (Azimut=0°, Elevation=0°).
