1. Introduction
Nonlinear dynamics analysis of various phenomena and systems of physics, engineering, biology, chemistry, economy, and industry has attracted a great interest among scientists and considered a very active area of research from 1960s in the last century till now [1–4]. There are two key reasons which interpret this great interest. The first one is that the dynamical systems tools help scientists better comprehend and analyze the varieties of nonlinear characteristics and new phenomena exhibited by systems from different disciplines. In particular, the tools of dynamical systems such as the applied bifurcation theories are successfully employed to investigate the qualitative behaviors of nonlinear systems [5–7]. This includes investigation of equilibrium points and their stability, creation, destruction and stability of periodic orbits, quasiperiodic behavior, homoclinic orbits, creation or destruction of chaotic attractors, and chaos control and synchronization. The second reason is that engineers and scientists can utilize some of the fascinating features of nonlinear dynamical systems in wide range of interesting applications.
The spellbinding chaotic dynamics, as an example, is recognized by high sensitivity to initial conditions and positive Lyapunov exponents. The generation of chaos for practical applications can be achieved by exploiting nonlinear electronic circuits, nonlinearities of laser systems with feedbacks, or via digital platforms such as FPGAs and DSPs. The noise-like behavior of chaotic systems, their wide spectrum, and the possibility of attaining chaos synchronization between two chaotic systems render them essential for cutting edge applications related to cryptography and robust physical-layer secure communication systems and ultra-fast physical random bits generation [4–11]. The other applications of dynamical systems methods and chaos theory include financial systems, mathematical biology, nonlinear circuits, nonlinear mechanical systems, plasma physics, chaos control, efficient image encryption, neuroscience research, and geophysics [12–33].
The more complex hyperchaotic system possesses at least two positive Lyapunov exponents and it has a phase space of dimension at least four. Clearly, the hyperchaotic systems have more randomness and higher unpredictability than simple chaotic systems. Therefore, hyperchaos is more preferred than simple chaos and its applications have recently become a central topic in research including chaos-based secure communications, image encryption, and cryptography
In the last two decades, some interesting high-dimensional hyperchaotic systems, in science and engineering, have been explored and their dynamics have been extensively investigated [18, 24, 27, 28, 34, 35]. In fact, it is of great importance from theoretical and practical aspects to explain complicated phenomena and internal structural characteristics of hyperchaotic systems. This research line focuses on applying codimension two or three bifurcation analysis to system under investigation. For example, analysis of Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation, degenerate Hopf bifurcation, and Heteroclinic and Homoclinic bifurcations can be undertaken. Also, it is crucial to determine whether there exists any set of parameters values for which the considered system is integrable and find the corresponding invariant surfaces if exist. As it is practically unattainable goal to apply exhaustive numerical investigation to acquire values of parameters where the hyperchaotic system is integrable, one needs a powerful analytical method that enables achieving this goal easily.
Recently, theoretical analysis, based on Fishing Principle, is applied to study some global features of a new four-dimensional Lorenz-type hyperchaotic system [36]. More specifically, conditions for existence of homoclinic orbits are obtained. This work aims at extending the aforementioned work and exploring other aspects of complicated dynamical behaviors of the 4D Lorenz-type hyperchaotic system. Analytical bifurcation structure of the model which includes
The rest of the paper is structured as follows: In Section 2, we introduce the 4D Lorenz-type system and discuss the equilibrium points’ existence. A sufficient condition for continuous dependence on initial condition is determined. Phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov characteristics spectrum are obtained. In Section 3, the analysis of some possible codimension two bifurcations is performed. It is shown that the 4D Lorenz system undergoes Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation, Andronov-Hopf bifurcation, Pitchfork bifurcation, and homoclinic bifurcation. The integrability analysis of system is investigated in Section 4. A practical application to engineering will be realized by an electronic circuit in Section 5. Finally, Section 6 concludes the paper.
2. The 4D Lorenz-Type Hyperchaotic System
The following 4D hyperchaotic system of Lorenz type was presented in [36]
The following subsections examine the main properties of system (1) and provide elementary dynamical analysis of the model.
2.1. Equilibrium Points of the System

2.2. Existence and Uniqueness of the Solution
The hyperchaotic system (1) can be put in the form
For the class of continuous functions
It is obvious that 4D system (1) is dissipative if
The solution of (5) and (7) can be represented by
Theorem 1.
Assume that
2.3. Continuous Dependence on Initial Conditions
The continuous dependence on initial conditions means that solution trajectories of the system which start close to each other still close to each other with evolution of time. This property is contrary to sensitive dependence on initial conditions which specifies chaotic dynamics. The goal of the next analysis is to find the particular parameters and time range where continuous dependence on state variables initial conditions is persevered; i.e., system (1) does not exhibit chaotic dynamics.
Assume that there are two points of initial conditions of system (5)-(7); namely,
Theorem 2.
The solution of hyperchaotic system (1) exhibits continuous dependence on initial conditions if system (1) satisfies the condition of Theorem 1. More specifically,

Now, we study the case where
The center manifold is assumed in the form of second-order polynomial for sufficiently small
Conditional normal form at bifurcation values of parameters can be obtained by following Kuznetsov approach which implies that the simplified system which represents the conditional normal form at bifurcation value is the following system:
The next step in this analysis is to obtain the universal unfolding of the BT bifurcation. In order to put the system in an appropriate form, the bifurcation parameters should be perturbed around bifurcation value, such that
The center manifold is assumed as follows:
Now, it necessary to define the next vector valued functions
or equivalently
The two real linearly independent generalized eigenvectors
After some calculations, the linear part coefficients of (39) can be evaluated as
The system representing the universal unfolding of BT bifurcation is thus written as
The bifurcation structure of (50) is summarized in the next theorem [39–41].

The phase portraits of system (1) are obtained via numerical simulations and illustrate examples of different dynamics that can be exhibited by the hyperchaotic system. In particular, Figure 1 verifies the occurrences of Hopf and pitchfork bifurcations of system (2) whereas Figure 2 shows 2D and 3D portraits of hyperchaotic attractor of the system.

4. First Integrals of the System
It is well known that, if the analyzed system has chaotic dynamics, the behaviors of the system are irregular behaviors. So, it is impossible to predict the behavior of the system in a long time scale. Therefore, it is important to ask whether there is any set of parameter values in which system dynamics are regular and that the studied system is integrable. In this section, we provide the question of global analytic integrability investigated for hyperchaotic system (1). In particular, we provide conditions of analytic integrability in hyperchaotic system (1) and obtain the possible first integrals of it.
Theorem 4.
System (1) has the following first integrals:

Hence, the proof is completed.

5. Circuit Implementation
The circuit implementation of hyperchaotic system (1) can be designed using operational amplifier, analog multipliers, resistors, and capacitors [17, 18]. This hyperchaotic nonlinear circuit is equivalent to system (1) and enables the useful experimental study of complex dynamics exhibited by system (1) and verify the results of theoretical analysis carried out upon it. The Multisim package is used to carry out circuit simulations and depict the circuit outputs on the oscilloscope. The nonlinear circuit implementation of hyperchaotic system can be used as a central in a variety of advanced applications, e.g., chaos based physical-layer secure communications and physical random number generators which outperform pseudo random number generators. Figure 10 shows schematics of proposed the circuit realization of hyperchaotic system (1) for the values of parameters given by
[figures omitted; refer to PDF]
Regarding digital realization of chaotic circuits, it is important to note that dynamics degradation of digital chaos occurs due to impossibility of the chaotic map to reach an ideal chaotic state under the limitations of digital domain with finite-precision. Various methods are proposed to counteract dynamics degradation; see, for example, [42] and references therein.
6. Conclusion
In this work, dynamical and bifurcation analysis are applied to explore local and global characteristics of 4D Lorenz-type hyperchaotic system. Through investigation of codimension two local bifurcation of the hyperchaotic system, it is found that the 4D hyperchaotic system undergoes various types of bifurcations including BT bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, pitchfork bifurcation, and homoclinic bifurcation. Moreover, the paper successfully acquires, for first time, the closed forms of first integrals and regular invariant surfaces in solution space, which pass through the origin equilibrium points, and relates these forms to the parameters of the system. Thus, it predicts some analytical solutions of the system and estimates the associated parameters values. Finally, a circuit realization for 4D hyperchaotic system is proposed as an engineering application and numerical examples are presented to verify theoretical results. Future work can include analytical and numerical investigations of hidden attractors, if exist, in hyperchaotic 4D Lorenz system. Also, other possible first integrals and invariant structures of the state space of the system may be explored in future work.
