Abstract

A set of complex Lorenz equations with an infinite number of z-components is shown to have an exact periodic solution. Sufficient conditions for the instability of this solution have been found and the effect of truncation of the z-components is considered. It is shown that in certain cases truncation has little effect but in others the stability criterion is radically altered.
