A Novel Simple Hyperchaotic System with Two Coexisting Attractors

Abstract

This article introduces a new hyperchaotic system of four-dimensional autonomous ordinary differential equations, with only cubic cross-product nonlinearities, which can respectively display two hyperchaotic attractors with only nonhyperbolic equilibria line. Several issues such as basic dynamical behaviors, routes to chaos, bifurcations, periodic windows, and the compound structure of the new hyperchaotic and chaotic system are investigated, either theoretically or numerically. Of particular interest is the fact that the two coexisting attractors of the new hyperchaotic system are symmetrical, and this hyperchaotic system can generate plenty of complex dynamics including two coexisting chaotic or periodic attractors. Moreover, some chaotic features of the attractor are justified numerically. Finally, 0-1 test is used to analyze and describe the complex chaotic dynamic behavior of the new system.
