In this work, cosmological implications of a non-canonical scalar field model have been studied in the background of homogeneous and isotropic flat FLRW spacetime by using dynamical system analysis. By suitable change of variables, the field equations are transformed to an autonomous system and the stability of the system of critical points are examined. For hyperbolic critical points, the analysis of the system is done by using Hartman–Grobman theorem, while the center manifold theory is used to study non-hyperbolic critical points. It is found that the parameters in the autonomous system play a crucial role for phase transition of the Universe. Finally, possible bifurcation scenarios are discussed to identify the point of phase transition.
