Abstract
We present a mathematical derivation of a discrete dynamical system by following a Fourier-Galerkin approximation of the 3-D incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. In this way, a 6-D map, depending on 12 bifurcation parameters, is derived as a truncated set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to characterize incompressible plasma dynamical behaviors, also conserving total energy and cross-helicity in the ideal MHD approximation. Moreover, three different subspaces, associated with long-living non-trivial solutions (e.g., fixed point solutions), have been found like the fluid, magnetic, and the Alfvenic fixed points. Our set can be seen as a Lorenz-like model to investigate MHD phenomena.
