Chua’s oscillator is topologically conjugate to a large class of vector fields with a scalar non-linearity. In this letter, we give an algorithm which, given a vector field in this class, finds the parameters for Chua’s oscillator for which Chua’s oscillator is topologically conjugate to it. We illustrate this by transforming Sparrow’s system and the chaotic Colpitts oscillator into equivalent Chua’s oscillators.
