Abstract: We analyze bifurcations observed in the Lozi system. Since the state space is not differentiable at x = 0, the system becomes non invertible, and the solution and corresponding variations are not expressed by elementary functions, although the system is described by a piecewise linear equation. The system is classified as one of hybrid systems because of this non-smoothness. In spite of this factor, the orbit and variations can be differentiable at any moment except for x = 0, 1st and 2nd variations are obtained numerically, thus, in this paper, we compute bifurcations of the Lozi map by using a shooting method. We also report a special degenerated stable attractors keeping the Lyapunov stability criterion.
