Qualitative analysis of the Rössler equations: Bifurcations of limit cycles and chaotic attractors

In this paper we study different aspects of the paradigmatic Rossler model. We perform a detailed study of the local and global bifurcations of codimension one and two of limit cycles. This provides us a global idea of the three-parametric evolution of the system. We also study the regions of parameters where we may expect a chaotic behavior by the use of different Chaos Indicators. The combination of the different techniques gives an idea of the different routes to chaos and the different kinds of chaotic attractors we may found in this system.
