Abstract
Abstract This paper proposes new fractional-order (FO) models of seven nonequilibrium and stable equilibrium systems and investigates the existence of chaos and hyperchaos in them. It thereby challenges the conventional generation of chaos that involves starting the orbits from the vicinity of unstable manifold. This is followed by the discovery of coexisting hidden attractors in fractional dynamics. All the seven newly proposed fractional-order chaotic/hyperchaotic systems (FOCSs/FOHSs) ranging from minimum fractional dimension (nf) of 2.76 to 4.95, exhibit multiple hidden attractors, such as periodic orbits, stable foci, and strange attractors, often coexisting together. To the best of the our knowledge, this phenomenon of prevalence of FO coexisting hidden attractors in FOCSs is reported for the first time. These findings have significant practical relevance, because the attractors are discovered in real-life physical systems such as the FO homopolar disc dynamo, FO memristive system, FO model of the modulation instability in a dissipative medium, etc., as analyzed in this work. Numerical simulation results confirm the theoretical analyses and comply with the fact that multistability of hidden attractors does exist in the proposed FO models.
