            Abstract : 
Using the time-domain scheme, the chaos and bifurcations behaviors in the fractional-order unified system are investigated numerically. Complex dynamics with interesting characteristics are presented by means of bifurcation diagrams. Chaos does exist in this system for a wide range of fractional orders, and some typical bifurcations are observed, such as pitchfork bifurcation, period-doubling bifurcation, an attractor-merging crisis bifurcation, and transient chaos. The results show that the lowest order we found for this fractional-order system to yield chaos is 2.65.
