Abstract

The classical Lorenz system is considered. For many years, this system has been the subject of study by numerous authors. However, until now the structure of the Lorenz attractor is not clear completely yet, and the most important question at present is to understand the bifurcation scenario of chaos transition in this system. Using some numerical results and our bifurcational geometric approach, we present a new scenario of chaos transition in the classical Lorenz system.
