“…In order to study the influence of parameter a 1 on the dynamic behaviors of the financial system ( 14), we take the parameter values a 2 = a 3 = 0.1, fractional-order q = 0.95 and initial state (x 0 , y 0 , z 0 )= (1, 3, 2), and choose parameter a 1 as the critical variable. Figure 1 is the bifurcation diagram, which shows rich dynamic behaviors as a 1 changes within the interval [0, 1]; the diagram implies that system (14) shows inverse perioddoubling bifurcation, that is, the system goes from periodic states to chaotic states with the period-doubling bifurcation process, as the parameter a 1 decreases within the interval [0, 1]. Specifically, the system is in period one when a 1 ∈ [0.9, 1], and then period-doubling bifurcation occurs for a 1 = 0.9; period-two appears when a 1 ∈ [0.83, 0.9), and perioddoubling bifurcation occurs for a 1 = 0.83.…”
