Hidden attractors on one path : Glukhovsky-Dolzhansky, Lorenz, and Rabinovich systems

In this report, by the numerical continuation method we visualize and connect hidden chaotic sets in the Glukhovsky-Dolzhansky, Lorenz and Rabinovich systems using a certain path in the parameter space of a Lorenz-like system.

Coupled Discrete Fractional-Order Logistic Maps

This paper studies a system of coupled discrete fractional-order logistic maps, modeled by Caputo’s delta fractional difference, regarding its numerical integration and chaotic dynamics. Some interesting new dynamical properties and unusual phenomena from this coupled chaotic-map system are revealed. Moreover, the coexistence of attractors, a necessary ingredient of the existence of hidden attractors, is proved and analyzed.

Approximating hidden chaotic attractors via parameter switching.

In this paper, the problem of approximating hidden chaotic attractors of a general class of nonlinear systems is investigated. The parameter switching (PS) algorithm is utilized, which switches the control parameter within a given set of values with the initial value problem numerically solved. The PS-generated attractor approximates the attractor obtained by averaging the control parameter with the switched values, which represents the hidden chaotic attractor. The hidden chaotic attractors of a generalized Lorenz system and the Rabinovich-Fabrikant system are simulated for illustration. In Refs. 1–3, it is proved that the attractors of a chaotic system, considered as the unique numerical …

Attractor as a convex combination of a set of attractors

This paper presents an effective approach to constructing numerical attractors of a general class of continuous homogenous dynamical systems: decomposing an attractor as a convex combination of a set of other existing attractors. For this purpose, the convergent Parameter Switching (PS) numerical method is used to integrate the underlying dynamical system. The method is built on a convergent fixed step-size numerical method for ODEs. The paper shows that the PS algorithm, incorporating two binary operations, can be used to approximate any numerical attractor via a convex combination of some existing attractors. Several examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.…

Looking More Closely at the Rabinovich-Fabrikant System

Recently, we looked more closely into the Rabinovich–Fabrikant system, after a decade of study [Danca & Chen, 2004], discovering some new characteristics such as cycling chaos, transient chaos, chaotic hidden attractors and a new kind of saddle-like attractor. In addition to extensive and accurate numerical analysis, on the assumptive existence of heteroclinic orbits, we provide a few of their approximations.

Unusual dynamics and hidden attractors of the Rabinovich-Fabrikant system

This paper presents some unusual dynamics of the Rabinovich-Fabrikant system, such as "virtual" saddles, "tornado"-like stable cycles and hidden chaotic attractors. Due to the strong nonlinearity and high complexity, the results are obtained numerically with some insightful descriptions and discussions.

Rich dynamics and anticontrol of extinction in a prey-predator system

This paper reveals some new and rich dynamics of a two-dimensional prey-predator system and to anticontrol the extinction of one of the species. For a particular value of the bifurcation parameter, one of the system variable dynamics is going to extinct, while another remains chaotic. To prevent the extinction, a simple anticontrol algorithm is applied so that the system orbits can escape from the vanishing trap. As the bifurcation parameter increases, the system presents quasiperiodic, stable, chaotic and also hyperchaotic orbits. Some of the chaotic attractors are Kaplan-Yorke type, in the sense that the sum of its Lyapunov exponents is positive. Also, atypically for undriven discrete sys…

Complex dynamics, hidden attractors and continuous approximation of a fractional-order hyperchaotic PWC system

In this paper, a continuous approximation to studying a class of PWC systems of fractionalorder is presented. Some known results of set-valued analysis and differential inclusions are utilized. The example of a hyperchaotic PWC system of fractional order is analyzed. It is found that without equilibria, the system has hidden attractors.
