“…They used synchronization theory as the regulation theory for regional coordinated development to research the system. Based on previous findings (Chen & Liu, ; Fang et al, 2017a, ; Feng, Sun, & Zhang, ; Huang et al, ; Liao, ; Niu et al, ; Ozturk & Acaravic, ; Pao & Tsai, ; Yang, Zhang, & Zhang, ; Yin et al, ), Fang et al () proposed a mathematical model of the energy‐saving and emission‐reduction system as follows, which includes energy‐saving and emission‐reduction, carbon emissions, and economic growth, and studied the chaos of the system. where is the time‐dependent variable of energy‐saving and emission‐reduction, the time‐dependent variable of carbon emissions, and the time‐dependent variable of economic growth; are positive constants; …”
