Abstract

This work is related to dynamics of a second-order rational difference equation. We investigate the parametric conditions for local asymptotic stability of equilibria. Center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory are implemented to discuss the parametric conditions for existence and direction of period-doubling bifurcation and pitchfork bifurcation at trivial equilibrium point. Moreover, the parametric conditions for existence and direction of Neimark-Sacker bifurcation at positive steady state are investigated with the help of bifurcation theory. The chaos control in the system is discussed through implementation of OGY feedback control method. In particular, we stabilize the chaotic orbits at an unstable fixed point by using OGY chaotic control. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to illustrate theoretical results. The computation of the maximum Lyapunov exponents confirms the presence of chaotic behavior in the system.
