A new type of four-wing chaotic attractors in 3-D quadratic autonomous systems.

Abstract: In this paper, several smooth canonical 3-D continuous autonomous systems are proposed in terms of the coefficients of nonlinear terms. These systems are derived from the existing 3-D four-wing smooth continuous autonomous chaotic systems. These new systems are the simplest chaotic attractor systems which can exhibit four wings. They have the basic structure of the existing 3-D four-wing systems, which means they can be extended to the existing 3-D fourwing chaotic systems by adding some linear and/or quadratic terms. Two of these systems are analyzed. Although the two systems are similar to each other in structure, they are different in dynamics. One is sensitive to the initializations and sampling time, but another is not, which is shown by comparing Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagrams, and Poincaré maps

Grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors generated from a new 3-D quadratic autonomous system

Due to the dynamic characteristics of the Lorenz system, multi-wing chaotic systems are still confined in the positive half-space and fail to break the threshold limit. In this paper, a new approach for generating complex grid multi-wing attractors that can break the threshold limit via a novel nonlinear modulating function is proposed from the firstly proposed double-wing chaotic system. The proposed method is different from that of classical multi-scroll chaotic attractors generated by odd-symmetric multi-segment linear functions from Chua system. The new system is autonomous and can generate various grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors without requiring any external forcing, it also can produce grid multi-wing both on the xz-plane and yz-plane. Basic properties of the new system such as dissipation property, equilibrium, stability, the Lyapunov exponent spectrum and bifurcation diagram are introduced by numerical simulation, theoretical analysis and circuit experiment, which confirm that the multi-wing attractors chaotic system has more rich and complicated chaotic dynamics. Finally, a novel module-based unified circuit is designed which provides some principles and guidelines for future circuitry design and engineering application. The circuit experimental results are consistent with the numerical simulation results.&nbsp

Stabilizing Unstable Periodic Orbits of the Multi-Scroll Chua's Attractor

This paper addresses the control of the n-scroll Chua’s circuit. It will be shown how chaotic systems with multiple unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) detected in the Poincar´e section can be stabilized as well as taking the system dynamics from one UPO to another

Homoclinic orbits, and self-excited and hidden attractors in a Lorenz-like system describing convective fluid motion

In this tutorial, we discuss self-excited and hidden attractors for systems of differential equations. We considered the example of a Lorenz-like system derived from the well-known Glukhovsky--Dolghansky and Rabinovich systems, to demonstrate the analysis of self-excited and hidden attractors and their characteristics. We applied the fishing principle to demonstrate the existence of a homoclinic orbit, proved the dissipativity and completeness of the system, and found absorbing and positively invariant sets. We have shown that this system has a self-excited attractor and a hidden attractor for certain parameters. The upper estimates of the Lyapunov dimension of self-excited and hidden attractors were obtained analytically.Comment: submitted to EP
