Abstract
<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The present work is devoted to giving new insights into a chaotic system with two stable node-foci, which is named Yang-Chen system. Firstly, based on the global view of the influence of equilibrium point on the complexity of the system, the dynamic behavior of the system at infinity is analyzed. Secondly, the Jacobi stability of the trajectories for the system is discussed from the viewpoint of Kosambi-Cartan-Chern theory (KCC-theory). The dynamical behavior of the deviation vector near the whole trajectories (including all equilibrium points) is analyzed in detail. The obtained results show that in the sense of Jacobi stability, all equilibrium points of the system, including those of the two linear stable node-foci, are Jacobi unstable. These studies show that one might witness chaotic behavior of the system trajectories before they enter in a neighborhood of equilibrium point or periodic orbit. There exists a sort of stability artifact that cannot be found without using the powerful method of Jacobi stability analysis.
