This study introduces a newly modified Lorenz model capable of demonstrating bifurcation within a specified range of parameters. The model demonstrates various bifurcation behaviors, which are depicted as distinct structures in the diagram. The study aims to discover and analyze the existence and stability of fixed points in the model. To achieve this, the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory are employed to identify the requirements for pitchfork bifurcation, period-doubling bifurcation, and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation. In addition to theoretical findings, numerical simulations, including bifurcation diagrams, phase pictures, and maximum Lyapunov exponents, showcase the nuanced, complex, and diverse dynamics. Finally, the study applies the Ott–Grebogi–Yorke (OGY) method to control the chaos observed in the reduced modified Lorenz model.
