Abstract

From the normal form of polynomial differential systems in \(\mathbb {R}^3\) having a sphere as invariant algebraic surface, we obtain a class of quadratic systems depending on ten real parameters, which encompasses the well-known Sprott A system. For this reason, we call them generalized Sprott A systems. In this paper, we study the dynamics and bifurcations of these systems as the parameters are varied. We prove that, for certain parameter values, the z-axis is a line of equilibria, the origin is a non-isolated zero-Hopf equilibrium point, and the phase space is foliated by concentric invariant spheres. By using the averaging theory we prove that a small linearly stable periodic orbit bifurcates from the zero-Hopf equilibrium point at the origin. Finally, we numerically show the existence of nested invariant tori around the bifurcating periodic orbit.
