Study of hidden attractors, multiple limit cycles from Hopf bifurcation and boundedness of motion in the generalized hyperchaotic Rabinovich system

Based on Rabinovich system, a 4D Rabinovich system is generalized to study hidden attractors, multiple limit cycles and boundedness of motion. In the sense of coexisting attractors, the remarkable finding is that the proposed system has hidden hyperchaotic attractors around a unique stable equilibrium. To understand the complex dynamics of the system, some basic properties, such as Lyapunov exponents, and the way of producing hidden hyperchaos are analyzed with numerical simulation. Moreover, it is proved that there exist four small-amplitude limit cycles bifurcating from the unique equilibrium via Hopf bifurcation. Finally, boundedness of motion of the hyperchaotic attractors is rigorously proved.
