Dynamics of a Modified Sprott A System

We examine a modified Sprott A system, one of the 17 Electrolytic chaotic systems without equilibria introduced by Jafari, Sprott, and Golpayegani (2013).For specific parameter values, the modified system exhibits invariant spheres.Using a stereographic map, we analyze the stability of the equilibria and demonstrate that all orbits, except for the
