Novel unified chaotic system with multi-parameter invariable Lyapunov exponent spectrum by Qiuzhen WAN, Zhaoteng ZHOU

“…Based on the traditional Qi chaotic system,a novel unified chaotic system with the complex chaotic characteristics was constructed by adding the control parameters and modifying the nonlinear terms.Firstly,basic dynamical characteristics of chaotic system were analyzed,and phase portrait,time domain waveform diagram,Poincare mapping and power spectrum diagram were numerically simulated.Secondly,system parameters influence on chaotic system was discussed through Lyapunov exponent spectrum,bifurcation diagrams and chaotic signal amplitude.It was found that the unified chaotic system can generate the four new types of two-wing chaotic attractors with the multi-parameter invariable Lyapunov exponent spectrum characteristics.Meanwhile,there exist the functions of the global and local nonlinear amplitude modulation parameters.Thirdly,taking the first chaotic attractor of system as an example by introducing the two new types of nonlinear functions,the expansion of grid multi-wing attractor was realized.Finally,the hardware circuit of novel unified chaotic system was constructed.The four new types of chaotic attractors are observed experimentally,which is consistent with numerical simulation results and verified the feasibility of the proposed system.…”
