Strange attractors are classified by bounding Tori

There is at present a doubly discrete classification for strange attractors of low dimension, d(L)<3. A branched manifold describes the stretching and squeezing processes that generate the strange attractor, and a basis set of orbits describes the complete set of unstable periodic orbits in the attractor. To this we add a third discrete classification level. Strange attractors are organized by the boundary of an open set surrounding their branched manifold. The boundary is a torus with g holes that is dressed by a surface flow with 2(g-1) singular points. All known strange attractors in R3 are classified by genus, g, and flow type.     

Attractors of a duffing equation-dependence on the exciting frequency

Attractors of a special Duffing equation are presented. The paper includes both strange attractors and periodic attractors. Emphasis is placed upon the evolution of an attractor starting from a very simple “thin” shape to a growing complex structure. It is shown that such an evolution is controlled by the exciting frequency. Further, the results indicate for this Duffing equation that complicated strange attractors are related to simple bifurcation behavior and vice versa.     

Chaotic Phenomena in a Two-Photon Laser with Injected Signal

The instability and the chaotic phenomena in a two-photon laser with injected signal are discussed for the homogeneously broadened single mode ring cavity. The structure of the system's attractors is considered by using the Lyapunov exponents and the Lyapunov dimension. The strange attractors of chaos and superchaos are found. The strange attractor displaying superchaos is not observed in one-photon laser with injected signal.     

A special type of attractor and transitions in a delayed system

We discuss strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs) in addition to chaotic and regular attractors in a quasiperiodically driven system with time delays. A route and the associated mechanism are described for a special type of attractor called strange-nonchaotic-attractor-like (SNA-like) through T² torus bifurcation. The type of attractor can be observed in large parameter domains and it is easily mistaken for a true SNA judging merely from the phase portrait, power spectrum and the largest Lyapunov exponent. SNA-like attractor is not strange and has no phase sensitivity. Conditions for Neimark-Sacker bifurcation are obtained by theoretical analysis for the unforced system. Complicated and interesting dynamical transitions are investigated among the different tongues.     

A new four-dimensional hyperjerk system with stable equilibrium point,circuit implementation,and its synchronization by using an adaptive integrator backstepping control

This paper reports a new simple four-dimensional(4 D) hyperjerk chaotic system. The proposed system has only one stable equilibrium point. Hence, its strange attractor belongs to the category of hidden attractors. The proposed system exhibits various dynamical behaviors including chaotic, periodic, stable nature, and coexistence of various attractors. Numerous theoretical and numerical methods are used for the analyses of this system. The chaotic behavior of the new system is validated using circuit implementation. Further, the synchronization of the proposed systems is shown by designing an adaptive integrator backstepping controller. Numerical simulation validates the synchronization strategy.     

Multiple attractors and periodic transients in synchronized nonlinear circuits

I study a pair of synchronized nonlinear circuits which may be periodic or chaotic. The circuits are synchronized by a one-way driving signal from the drive circuit to the response circuit. Because the nonlinearities are symmetric about zero, the drive circuit has two periodic attractors. When the value of a bifurcation parameter is above a certain threshold, the response circuit also has two periodic attractors, one in-sync with the drive and one out-of-sync. Below the threshold, the drive circuit still has two attractors but the response circuit has only one attractor, the in-sync attractor. If the response circuit is started in the basin of attraction of the former out-of-sync attractor, a long periodic transient (many cycles long) is seen.     

A new 5D hyperchaotic system with stable equilibrium point,transient chaotic behaviour and its fractional-order form

In this paper, we construct a novel 4D autonomous chaotic system with four cross-product nonlinear terms and five equilibria. The multiple coexisting attractors and the multiscroll attractor of the system are numerically investigated. Research results show that the system has various types of multiple attractors, including three strange attractors with a limit cycle, three limit cycles, two strange attractors with a pair of limit cycles, two coexisting strange attractors. By using the passive control theory, a controller is designed for controlling the chaos of the system. Both analytical and numerical studies verify that the designed controller can suppress chaotic motion and stabilise the system at the origin. Moreover, an electronic circuit is presented for implementing the chaotic system.     

An infinite 3-D quasiperiodic lattice of chaotic attractors

A new dynamical system based on Thomas' system is described with infinitely many strange attractors on a 3-D spatial lattice. The mechanism for this multistability is associated with the disturbed offset boosting of sinusoidal functions with different spatial periods. Therefore, the initial condition for offset boosting can trigger a bifurcation, and consequently infinitely many attractors emerge simultaneously. One parameter of the sinusoidal nonlinearity can increase the frequency of the second order derivative of the variables rather than the first order and therefore increase the Lyapunov exponents accordingly. We show examples where the lattice is periodic and where it is quasiperiodic, that latter of which has an infinite variety of attractor types.     

Dynamic analysis and synchronization control of an unusual chaotic system with exponential term and coexisting attractors

This paper reports a new four-dimensional chaotic system consisting of an exponential nonlinear term, two quadratic nonlinear terms and five linear terms. The system has only one equilibrium and performs stability, periodicity and chaos with the variation of the parameters. It losses its stability with the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation and goes into chaos via period-doubling bifurcation. One more interesting feature of the system is that it can generate multiple coexisting attractors for different initial conditions, such as two strange attractors with one limit cycle, one strange attractor with two limit cycles, etc. The dynamic properties of the system are presented by numerical simulation includes bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponent spectrum and phase portraits. An electronic circuit is constructed to implement the chaotic attractor of the system. Based on the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method, the synchronization control of the system is investigated.     

Character of fluctuations in deterministically thermostatted nonequilibrium systems

The application of Nose-Hoover equations of motion to analysis of stationary nonequilibrium systems-driven away from equilibrium by inherent thermostatting-is briefly discussed. The Galton board model, to which the analysis does apply, is described. Numerical simulations of this specific model suggest that the system exhibits 1/f(k) noise, with 1相似文献   

Structure and evolution of strange attractors in non-elastic triangular billiards

We study non-elastic billiard dynamics in an equilateral triangular table. In such dynamics, collisions with the walls of the table are not elastic, as in standard billiards; rather, the outgoing angle of the trajectory with the normal vector to the boundary at the point of collision is a uniform factor λ < 1 smaller than the incoming angle. This leads to contraction in phase space for the discrete-time dynamics between consecutive collisions, and hence to attractors of zero Lebesgue measure, which are almost always fractal strange attractors with chaotic dynamics, due to the presence of an expansion mechanism. We study the structure of these strange attractors and their evolution as the contraction parameter λ is varied. For λ∈(0,1/3), we prove rigorously that the attractor has the structure of a Cantor set times an interval, whereas for larger values of λ gaps arise in the Cantor structure. For λ close to 1, the attractor splits into three transitive components, whose basins of attraction have fractal boundaries.     

Study of a dynamical system with a strange attractor and invariant tori

A simple three-dimensional time-reversible system of ODEs with quadratic nonlinearities is considered in a recent paper by Sprott (2014). The author finds in this system, that has no equilibria, the coexistence of a strange attractor and invariant tori. The goal of this letter is to justify theoretically the existence of infinite invariant tori and chaotic attractors. For this purpose we embed the original system in a one-parameter family of reversible systems. This allows to demonstrate the presence of a Hopf-zero bifurcation that implies the birth of an elliptic periodic orbit. Thus, the application of the KAM theory guarantees the existence of an extremely complex dynamics with periodic, quasiperiodic and chaotic motions. Our theoretical study is complemented with some numerical results. Several bifurcation diagrams make clear the rich dynamics organized around a so-called noose bifurcation where, among other scenarios, cascades of period-doubling bifurcations also originate chaotic attractors. Moreover, a cross section and other numerical simulations are also presented to illustrate the KAM dynamics exhibited by this system.     

Scaling of intermittent behaviour of a strange nonchaotic attractor

We describe a type of intermittency present in a strange nonchaotic attractor of a quasiperiodically forced system. This has a similar scaling behaviour to the intermittency found in an attractor-merging crisis of chaotic attractors. By studying rational approximations to the irrational forcing we present a reasoning behind this scaling, which also provides insight into the mechanism which creates the strange nonchaotic attractor.     

Fluctuations and structure of attractors — Simple tests on the Hénon mapping

Results of tests on an influence of fluctuations on a structure of a single strange attractor as well as two coexisting attractors performed for the Hénon mapping are presented.     

Control of quasiparticle self-fluctuations in a CuCl crystal

A theory is developed for regular and chaotic self fluctuations in crystal CuCl for a ring resonator geometry. A system of nonlinear differential equations is derived for the dynamic evolution of coherent excitons, photons, and biexcitons. It is shown that, in the unstable portions of the optical bistability curves, nonlinear periodic and chaotic self fluctuations can develop with the creation of limit cycles and strange attractors in the phase space of the system. A computer simulation is used to determine the parameters for which reliable switching takes place in the system and the parameter ranges are found within which the system undergoes a transition from strange attractor to limit cycle. The possibility of experimentally observing the phenomena studied here is discussed. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 41, 1939–1943 (November 1999)     

Noise-induced Hopf-bifurcation-type sequence and transition to chaos in the lorenz equations

We study the effects of noise on the Lorenz equations in the parameter regime admitting two stable fixed point solutions and a strange attractor. We show that noise annihilates the two stable fixed point attractors and evicts a Hopf-bifurcation-like sequence and transition to chaos. The noise-induced oscillatory motions have very well defined period and amplitude, and this phenomenon is similar to stochastic resonance, but without a weak periodic forcing. When the noise level exceeds certain threshold value but is not too strong, the noise-induced signals enable an objective computation of the largest positive Lyapunov exponent, which characterize the signals to be truly chaotic.     

From Limit Cycles to Strange Attractors

We define a quantitative notion of shear for limit cycles of flows. We prove that strange attractors and SRB measures emerge when systems exhibiting limit cycles with sufficient shear are subjected to periodic pulsatile drives. The strange attractors possess a number of precisely-defined dynamical properties that together imply chaos that is both sustained in time and physically observable.     

A universal strange attractor underlying the quasiperiodic transition to chaos

We use a Monte Carlo approach to study the universal properties associated with the breakdown of two-torus attractors for arbitrary winding numbers. We demonstrate that the renormalization equations have a universal strange attractor, compute its critical exponents, and discuss its structure. The fractal dimension of this attractor is 1.8±0.1.

Double strange attractors in rigid body motion with linear feedback control

Euler's rigid body equations are modified with the addition of a linear feedback. A system of three quadratic differential equations is obtained which for certain feedback gains has two strange attractors. The attractor for an orbit is determined by the location of the initial point for that orbit.
