A new butterfly-shaped attractor of Lorenz-like system

In this letter a new butterfly-shaped chaotic attractor is reported. Some basic dynamical properties, such as Poincare mapping, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimension, continuous spectrum and chaotic dynamical behaviors of the new chaotic system are studied. Furthermore, we clarify that the chaotic attractors of the system is a compound structure obtained by merging together two simple attractors through a mirror operation.     

Counteracting the dynamical degradation of digital chaos via hybrid control

Chaotic systems would degrade owing to finite computing precisions, and such degradation often seriously affects the performance of digital chaos-based applications. In this paper, a chaotification method is proposed to solve the dynamical degradation of digital chaotic systems based on a hybrid structure, where a continuous chaotic system is applied to control the digital chaotic system, and a unidirectional coupling controller that combines a linear external state control with a modular function is designed. Moreover, we proof rigorously that a class of digital chaotic systems can be driven to be chaotic in the sense that the system is sensitive to initial conditions. Different from the existing remedies, this method can recover the dynamical properties of system, and even make some properties better than those of the original chaotic system. Thus, this new approach can be applied to the fields of chaotic cryptography and secure communication.     

Bifurcation structure of chaotic attractor in switched dynamical systems with spike noise

High-frequency ripple (spike noise) effects in the qualitative properties of DC/DC converter circuits. This study investigates the bifurcation structure of a chaotic attractor in a switched dynamical system with spike noise. First, we introduce the system dynamics and derive the associated Poincaré map. Next, we show the bifurcation structure of the chaotic attractor in a system with spike noise. Finally, we investigate the dynamical effect of spike noise in the existence region of the chaotic attractor compare with that of a chaotic attractor in a system with ideal switching. The results suggest that spike noise enlarges an invariant set and generates a new bifurcation structure of the chaotic attractor.     

A novel chaotic attractor

In this letter, a novel chaotic attractor is reported. Some basic dynamical properties, such as Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimension, Poincare mapping, the continuous spectrum and chaotic behavior of this new transverse butterfly attractor are studied. Meanwhile, the forming mechanism of its compound structure obtained by merging together two simple attractors after performing one mirror operation has been investigated by detailed numerical as well as theoretical analysis. Furthermore, the complex chaotic dynamical behavior of the system has been also proofed by experimental simulation of a designed electronic oscillator based on EWB.     

Simple polynomial classes of chaotic jerky dynamics

Third-order explicit autonomous differential equations, commonly called jerky dynamics, constitute a powerful approach to understand the properties of functionally very simple but nonlinear three-dimensional dynamical systems that can exhibit chaotic long-time behavior. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics that can be generated by the two simplest polynomial jerky dynamics that, up to these days, are known to show chaotic behavior in some parameter range. After deriving several analytical properties of these systems, we systematically determine the dependence of the long-time dynamical behavior on the system parameters by numerical evaluation of Lyapunov spectra. Some features of the systems that are related to the dependence on initial conditions are also addressed. The observed dynamical complexity of the two systems is discussed in connection with the existence of homoclinic orbits.     

Central limit theorem and chaoticity

This paper studies the relations between stochastic properties and chaotic properties of a dynamical system satisfying the central limit theorem. For such a system, it is proved that every nonempty open set in its defining space contains a point with positive lower density of its return time set and that the system is syndetically sensitive, provided that it is strongly topologically ergodic. Moreover, it is shown that the system admits many chaotic properties if its domain is restricted to a tree.     

A new hyperchaotic system and its synchronization

In this paper, a four-dimensional (4D) continuous autonomous hyperchaotic system is introduced and analyzed. This hyperchaotic system is constructed by adding a linear controller to the 3D autonomous chaotic system with a reverse butterfly-shape attractor. Some of its basic dynamical properties, such as Lyapunov exponents, Poincare section, bifurcation diagram and the periodic orbits evolving into chaotic, hyperchaotic dynamical behavior by varying parameter d are studied. Furthermore, the full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS) of new hyperchaotic system with unknown parameters including the unknown coefficients of nonlinear terms is studied by using adaptive control. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effective of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.     

Fractals in the open quantum kicked top model

Fractals are one of the most important features of the classically chaotic systems. We analyze the fractal phenomena in a quantum chaos system in terms of its fidelity and dynamical localization properties in the paper. We show that, even in the open and dissipative quantum kicked top model, the fidelity displays fractal fluctuations if the underlying dynamics is in the classically chaotic regime. Moreover, the fluctuations of the inverse participation ratio which characterize the dynamical localization behavior also exhibit fractality. The relations between the fractal dimensions and the decoherence rates are explored.     

Chaos projective synchronization of the chaotic finance system with parameter switching perturbation and input time‐varying delay

This paper discusses some basic dynamical properties of the chaotic finance system with parameter switching perturbation, and investigates chaos projective synchronization of the chaotic finance system with the time‐varying delayed feedback controller, which are not fully considered in the existing research. Different from the previous methods, in this paper, the delayed feedback controller is not only time‐varying, but also the time‐varying delay is adaptive. Finally, an illustrate example is provided to show the effectiveness of this method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Dynamical analysis and numerical simulation of a new Lorenz-type chaotic system

In this paper, a new 3D autonomous Lorenz-type chaotic system is modelled based on the condition that the system may generate chaos whereas it has only stable or non-hyperbolic equilibrium points. This system also includes some well-known Lorenz-like systems as its special cases, such as the diffusionless Lorenz system, the Burke-Shaw system and some other systems found. Although the new chaotic system is similar to other Lorenz-type systems in algebraic structure, they are topologically non-equivalent. This interesting fact motivates one to further investigate its dynamical behaviours, such as the number and the stability of equilibrium points, Hopf bifurcation and its direction, Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents and dissipativity, etc. Given numerical simulations not only verify the corresponding theoretically analytical results, but also demonstrate that this system possesses abundant and complex dynamical properties, which need further attention.     

A new auto-switched chaotic system and its FPGA implementation

This paper presents a 3D chaotic system which is constructed by an auto-switched numerical resolution of multiple three dimensional continuous chaotic systems. The designed chaotic system provides complex chaotic attractors and can change its behaviors automatically via a chaotic switching-rule. Some complex dynamical behaviors are investigated and analyzed. The originality of the proposed architecture is that allows to solve the problem of the finite precision due to the digital implementation while provides a good trade-off between high security, performance and hardware resources (low power and cost). Hardware digital implementation and FPGA circuit experimental results demonstrate a promising technique can be applied in efficient embedded ciphering communication systems. Moreover, the proposed chaotic system should be very useful for the consideration of reducing negative influence of dynamical degradation in real-time embedded applications.     

Energy cycle for the Lorenz attractor

In this paper we identify an energetic cycle in the Lorenz-63 system through its Lie–Poisson structure. A new geometrical view of this Lorenz system is presented and sheds light on its energetic properties by recovering its Hamiltonian structure and the associated Casimir. It is shown that this approach gives notable physical insight on the dynamical behaviour of the system. A link between energetics and chaotic properties has been found and specific inequalities, involving conversion terms, have been identified. Traps and jumps between the lobes are studied and benefits of our formalism to capture predictability-energy connections are discussed.     

A memristive chaotic system with heart-shaped attractors and its implementation

As a controllable nonlinear element, memristor is easy to produce the chaotic signal. Most of the current researchers focus on the nonlinear characteristics of the memristor, however, its ability to control and adjust chaotic systems is often neglected. Therefore, a memristive chaotic system is introduced to generate a kind of heart-shaped attractors in this paper. To further understand the complex dynamics of the system, several basic dynamical behavior of the new chaotic system, such as dissipation and the stability of the equilibrium point is investigated. Some basic properties such as Poincaré-map, Lyapunov index and bifurcation diagram are presented, either analytically or numerically. In addition, the influence of parameters on the system's dynamic behavior is analyzed. Finally, an analog implementation based on PSPICE simulation is also designed. The obtained results clearly show this chaotic system has rich nonlinear characteristics. Some interesting conclusions can be drawn that memristors bring the following effects on chaotic systems: (a) when the polarity of the memristor is changed, a mirror image of the chaotic attractors will appeared in the system; (b) along with the proper choose of the memristor parameters, the chaotic motion of system will be suppressed and enhanced, which makes the system can be applied to the practice on either generating chaos signal or suppressing chaotic interference.

Structure and properties of the attractor of a marine dynamical system

We investigate the properties of a marine dynamical system by means of time series of the sea-level height at four locations in the Saronicos Gulf in the Aegean Sea, Greece. In order to characterize the dynamics, we estimate the dimension of the underlying system attractor, and we compute its Lyapunov exponents. Dimension estimates indicate that the dynamics can be explained by a low-dimensional deterministic dynamical system. Lyapunov exponent estimates further substantiate the above conclusion, while at the same time, indicate that the dynamical system is a rather nonuniform chaotic one.

A new 4-D fractional-order chaotic system without equilibrium point is proposed in this paper. There is no chaotic behavior for its corresponding integer-order system. By computer simulations, we find complex dynamical behaviors in this system, and obtain that the lowest order for exhibiting a chaotic attractor is 3.2. We also design an electronic circuit to realize this 4-D fractional-order chaotic system and present some experiment results.
