Hyperchaos in constrained Hamiltonian system and its control

Abstract

This paper first formulates a Hamiltonian system with hyperchaotic phenomena and investigates the equilibrium point and double Hopf bifurcation of the system. We obtain the result that the Hamiltonian system has hyperchaotic behaviors when any system parameter varies. The influences of holonomic constraint and nonholonomic constraint on the equilibrium points, invariance and the hyperchaotic state of the Hamiltonian system are then studied. Finally, we achieve the hyperchaotic control of the Hamiltonian system by introducing the constraint method. The studies indicate that the constraint can not only change the Hamiltonian system from hyperchaotic state to periodic state or chaotic state, but also make the Hamiltonian system become globally asymptotically stable. Numerical simulations, including Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagrams, Poincare maps and phase portraits for systems, exhibit the complex dynamical behaviors.
