Abstract

This paper develops a design method for the interconnections of a network of Andronov–Hopf oscillators such that the system exhibits a desired strange attractor. Because of the structure of the oscillators, the desired behavior can be achieved via weak linear coupling, which destabilizes the oscillators’ phase difference. First, a set of sufficient conditions are established that result in phase destabilization, and thus instability, of a desired periodic solution. Then, an additional condition is determined to ensure that all harmonic periodic orbits will be unstable. Finally, additional numerical properties are assessed, where tuning of a small parameter can result in chaos.
