Abstract

Little seems to be known about the homoclinic orbits of hyperchaotic system. Through the deep researches of a 4D Lorenz-type hyperchaotic system, with the help of Fishing Principle, we obtain the existence conditions of homoclinic orbits of this hyperchaotic system. In order to justify the theoretical analysis, by using the numerical methods, a set of approximate bifurcation parameters and its corresponding homoclinic orbits are obtained.
