Four-dimensional system with torus attractor birth via saddle-node bifurcation of limit cycles in content of family of blue sky catastrophes

Abstract

A new four-dimensional model with quasi-periodic dynamics is suggested. The torus attractor originates via the saddle-node bifurcation, which may be regarded as a member of a bifurcation family embracing different types of blue sky catastrophes. Also the torus birth trough the Neimark-Sacker bifurcation occurs in some other region of the parameter space.
