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.     

Exponential synchronization of a new Lorenz-like attractor with uncertain parameters via single input

The new Lorenz-like attractor, reported by Li et al. (2009) [1], includes a product term of system parameters. It can be predicted that chaotic synchronization of this new chaotic system becomes more complicated by taking account of uncertain system parameters. In this paper, the exponential synchronization between two nearly identical Lorenz-like attractors by applying single input controller associated with system parameter update laws is proposed. Unlike multiple control inputs and state variable feedbacks required in chaotic synchronization in the literature, the proposed single input controller includes only one state variable proportional feedback. Two kinds of system parameter update laws are introduced and sufficient conditions are provided to guarantee exponential stability of both synchronous errors and system parameter errors. In addition, numerical simulations are also performed to verify the effectiveness of presented schemes.     

Nonlinear analysis in a Lorenz-like system

In this paper we study the nonlinear dynamics of a Lorenz-like system. More precisely, we study the stability and bifurcations which occur in a new three parameter quadratic chaotic system. We also study the existence of singularly degenerate heteroclinic cycles for a suitable choice of the parameters. As a consequence we show the existence of chaotic attractors when these cycles disappear.     

Dynamics of a new Lorenz-like chaotic system

The present work is devoted to giving new insights into a new Lorenz-like chaotic system. The local dynamical entities, such as the number of equilibria, the stability of the hyperbolic equilibria and the stability of the non-hyperbolic equilibrium obtained by using the center manifold theorem, the pitchfork bifurcation and the degenerate pitchfork bifurcation, Hopf bifurcations and the local manifold character, are all analyzed when the parameters are varied in the space of parameters. The existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits of the system is also rigorously studied. More exactly, for $b\ge 2a>0$ and $c>0$, we prove that the system has no homoclinic orbit but has two and only two heteroclinic orbits.     

A new hyperchaotic system and its circuit implementation

A new hyperchaotic system which has two large positive Lyapunov exponents is presented and physically implemented. Spectral analysis shows that the system in the hyperchaotic mode has an extremely broad frequency bandwidth of high magnitudes, verifying its unusual random nature and indicating its great potential for some relevant engineering applications such as secure communications.     

A new hyperchaotic system and its circuit implementation

In this paper, a new hyperchaotic system is presented by adding a nonlinear controller to the three-dimensional autonomous chaotic system. The generated hyperchaotic system undergoes hyperchaos, chaos, and some different periodic orbits with control parameters changed. The complex dynamic behaviors are verified by means of Lyapunov exponent spectrum, bifurcation analysis, phase portraits and circuit realization. The Multisim results of the hyperchaotic circuit were well agreed with the simulation results.     

Hopf Bifurcation and new singular orbits coined in a Lorenz-like system

We seize some new dynamics of a Lorenz-like system: $\dot{x} = a(y - x)$, \quad $\dot{y} = dy - xz$, \quad $\dot{z} = - bz + fx^{2} + gxy$, such as for the Hopf bifurcation, the behavior of non-isolated equilibria, the existence of singularly degenerate heteroclinic cycles and homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. In particular, our new discovery is that the system has also two heteroclinic orbits for $bg = 2a(f + g)$ and $a > d > 0$ other than known $bg > 2a(f + g)$ and $a > d > 0$, whose proof is completely different from known case. All the theoretical results obtained are also verified by numerical simulations.     

Existence of a new three-dimensional chaotic attractor

In this paper, one heteroclinic orbit of a new three-dimensional continuous autonomous chaotic system, whose chaotic attractor belongs to the conjugate Lü attractor, is found. The series expression of the heteroclinic orbit of Šhil’nikov type is derived by using the undetermined coefficient method. The uniform convergence of the precise series expansions of this heteroclinic orbits is proved. According to the Šhil’nikov theorem, this system clearly has Smale horseshoes and the horseshoe chaos.

Design and circuit implementation for a novel charge-controlled chaotic memristor system

This paper deals with the simulation and implementation of a new charge-controlled memristor based on the simplest chaotic circuit. The circuit we used has only three basic elements in series. Some period-one and period-doubling chaotic routes are generated by this circuit with changes in its component values. Device-level simulation is conducted by using Multisim to provide the basis for building the real chaotic circuit. The results of numerical simulations are identical to those of circuit simulations, demonstrating that the circuit is feasible.     

A new 4-D non-equilibrium fractional-order chaotic system and its circuit implementation

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.     

Generating a new chaotic attractor by feedback controlling method

A new chaotic system is found by feedback controlling method in this paper. According to the definition of the generalized Lorenz system, the new chaotic system does not belong to generalized Lorenz systems. We analyze the new system by means of phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents, fractional dimension, bifurcation diagram, and Poincaré map. The particular interest is that this novel system can generate two one‐scroll and one two‐scroll chaotic attractors with the variation of a single parameter. The obtained results show clearly that the system is a new chaotic system and deserves a further detailed investigation. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On three types of dynamics and the notion of attractor

We propose a theoretical framework for explaining the numerically discovered phenomenon of the attractor–repeller merger. We identify regimes observed in dynamical systems with attractors as defined in a paper by Ruelle and show that these attractors can be of three different types. The first two types correspond to the well-known types of chaotic behavior, conservative and dissipative, while the attractors of the third type, reversible cores, provide a new type of chaos, the so-called mixed dynamics, characterized by the inseparability of dissipative and conservative regimes. We prove that every elliptic orbit of a generic non-conservative time-reversible system is a reversible core. We also prove that a generic reversible system with an elliptic orbit is universal; i.e., it displays dynamics of maximum possible richness and complexity.

Global attractor for a nonlinear viscoelastic model

In this paper we establish the existence of global attractors of a semiflow and a semigroup for a nonlinear 1-d viscoelasticity in two frameworks. We exploit the properties of the analytic semigroup to show the compactness for the semiflow and semigroup generated by the weak global solutions.     

Nonlinear dynamics of a simplified engine-propeller system

This paper presents a procedure for studying dynamical behaviors of a simplified engine-propeller dynamical system consisting of a number of bodies of plane motions. The equation of motion of the complex system is obtained using the Lagrange equation and solved numerically using the 4th order Runge–Kutta method. Various simulations were performed to investigate the transient and steady state behaviors of the multiple body system while taking into consideration the engine pressure pulsations, nonlinear inertia of moving bodies, and nonlinear aerodynamic load. Sub-harmonics and super harmonics in the steady state responses for different power and propeller pitch settings are obtained using the fast Fourier transform. Numerical simulations indicate that the 1.5 order is the dominant order of harmonics in the steady state oscillatory motion of the crankshaft. The findings and procedure presented in the paper are useful to the aerospace industry in certifying reciprocating engines and propellers. The crankshaft oscillatory velocities obtained from the simplified rigid body model are in good agreement with the experimental data for a SAITO-450 engine and a SOLO propeller at a 6″ pitch setting.     

Regularity of trajectory attractor and upper semicontinuity of global attractor for a 2D non-Newtonian fluid

There are two results within this paper. The one is the regularity of trajectory attractor and the trajectory asymptotic smoothing effect of the incompressible non-Newtonian fluid on 2D bounded domains, for which the solution to each initial value could be non-unique. The other is the upper semicontinuity of global attractors of the addressed fluid when the spatial domains vary from Ωm to Ω=R×(−L,L), where is an expanding sequence of simply connected, bounded and smooth subdomains of Ω such that Ωm→Ω as m→+∞. That is, let A and Am be the global attractors of the fluid corresponding to Ω and Ωm, respectively, we establish that for any neighborhood O(A) of A, the global attractor Am enters O(A) if m is large enough.     

Nonlinear orientational dynamics of a molecular chain

We investigate the nonlinear rotational dynamics of a molecular chain with quadrupole interaction in both the discrete and the continuous cases. Based on a system of nonlinear differential-difference equations, we obtain approximate equations describing the chain excitations and preserving the initial symmetry. We introduce an effective potential and normal coordinates, using which allows decoupling the system into linear and nonlinear parts. As a result of a strong anisotropy of the potential, narrow “valleys” occur in the angle plane. Motion along a valley corresponds to a softer interaction (nonlinear equations). Linear equations describe motion across a valley (hard interaction). We consider cases where the derived nonlinear equations reduce to the sine-Gordon equation. We find integrals of motion and exact solutions of our approximate equations. We uniformly describe the energy interval encompassing the domains of order, of orientational melting, and of rotational motion of the molecules in the chain.     

A Chebyshev expansion method for solving Nonlinear circuit equations

A new method using Chebyshev expansions is developed for solving nonlinear circuit equations. This technique is more efficient and accurate than existing simulators. Two particular case studies illustrate the methodology, and further applications are outlined.     

Nonlinear dynamics of a quasi-one-dimensional helicoidal structure

We analytically describe solitons and spin waves in the helicoidal structure of magnets without an inversion center using the ??dressing?? method in the framework of the sine-Gordon model. Analyzing the nonlinear dynamics of spin waves in the helicoidal-structure background reduces to solving linear integral equations on a Riemann surface generated by the superstructure. We obtain spectral expansions of integrals of motion with the soliton and spin-wave contributions separated.
