# Multiscroll attractor

(Redirected from Double scroll attractor)
Double-scroll attractor from a simulation

In the mathematics of dynamical systems, the double-scroll attractor (sometimes known as Chua's attractor) is a strange attractor observed from a physical electronic chaotic circuit (generally, Chua's circuit) with a single nonlinear resistor (see Chua's Diode). The double-scroll system is often described by a system of three nonlinear ordinary differential equations and a 3-segment piecewise-linear equation (see Chua's equations). This makes the system easily simulated numerically and easily manifested physically due to Chua's circuits' simple design.

Using a Chua's circuit, this shape is viewed on an oscilloscope using the X, Y, and Z output signals of the circuit. This chaotic attractor is known as the double scroll because of its shape in three-dimensional space, which is similar to two saturn-like rings connected by swirling lines.

The attractor was first observed in simulations, then realized physically after Leon Chua invented the autonomous chaotic circuit which became known as Chua's circuit.[1] The double-scroll attractor from the Chua circuit was rigorously proven to be chaotic[2] through a number of Poincaré return maps of the attractor explicitly derived by way of compositions of the eigenvectors of the 3-dimensional state space.[3]

Numerical analysis of the double-scroll attractor has shown that its geometrical structure is made up of an infinite number of fractal-like layers. Each cross section appears to be a fractal at all scales.[4] Recently, there has also been reported the discovery of hidden attractors within the double scroll.[5]

In 1999 Guanrong Chen (陈关荣) and Ueta proposed another double scroll chaotic attractor.[6]

Chen system:

${\displaystyle {\frac {dx(t)}{dt}}=a*(y(t)-x(t))}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dy(t)}{dt}}=(c-a)*x(t)-x(t)*z(t)+c*y(t)}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dz(t)}{dt}}=x(t)*y(t)-b*z(t)}$

Plots of Chen attractor can be obtained with Runge-Kutta method:[7]

parameters:a = 40, c = 28, b = 3

initial conditions:x(0) = -0.1, y(0) = 0.5, z(0) = -0.6

## Multiscroll attractors

Multiscroll attractors also called n-scroll attractor include the Lu Chen attractor, the modified Chen chaotic attractor, PWL Duffing attractor, Rabinovich Fabrikant attractor, modified Chua chaotic attractor, that is, multiple scrolls in a single attractor.[8]

### Lu Chen attractor

An extended Chen system with multiscroll was proposed by Jinhu Lu (吕金虎）and Guanrong Chen[9]

Lu Chen system equation

${\displaystyle {\frac {dx(t)}{dt}}=a(y(t)-x(t))}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dy(t)}{dt}}=x(t)-x(t)z(t)+cy(t)+u}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dz(t)}{dt}}=x(t)y(t)-bz(t)}$

parameters：a = 36, c = 20, b = 3, u = -15..15

initial conditions：x(0) = .1, y(0) = .3, z(0) = -.6

### Modified Lu Chen attractor

System equations:[9]

${\displaystyle {\frac {dx(t)}{dt}}=a*(y(t)-x(t)),}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dy(t)}{dt}}=(c-a)*x(t)-x(t)*f+c*y(t),}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dz(t)}{dt}}=x(t)*y(t)-b*z(t)}$

In which

${\displaystyle f=d0*z(t)+d1*z(t-\tau )-d2*\sin(z(t-\tau ))}$

params := a = 35, c = 28, b = 3, d0 = 1, d1 = 1, d2 = -20..20, tau = .2

initv := x(0) = 1, y(0) = 1, z(0) = 14

### Modified Chua chaotic attractor

In 2001, Tang et al. proposed a modified Chua chaotic system[10]

${\displaystyle {\frac {dx(t)}{dt}}=\alpha (y(t)-h)}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dy(t)}{dt}}=x(t)-y(t)+z(t)}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dz(t)}{dt}}=-\beta y(t)}$

In which

${\displaystyle h:=-b\sin \left({\frac {\pi x(t)}{2a}}+d\right)}$

params := alpha = 10.82, beta = 14.286, a = 1.3, b = .11, c = 7, d = 0

initv := x(0) = 1, y(0) = 1, z(0) = 0

### PWL Duffing chaotic attractor

Aziz Alaoui investigated PWL Duffing equation in 2000：[11]

PWL Duffing system:

${\displaystyle {\frac {dx(t)}{dt}}=y(t)}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dy(t)}{dt}}=-m1*x(t)-(1/2*(m0-m1))*(|x(t)+1|-|x(t)-1|)-e*y(t)+\gamma *cos(\omega *t)}$

params := e = .25, gamma = .14+(1/20)*i, m0 = -0.845e-1, m1 = .66, omega = 1; c := (.14+(1/20)*i)，i=-25..25;

initv := x(0) = 0, y(0) = 0;

### Modified Lorenz chaotic system

Miranda & Stone proposed a modified Lorenz system:[12]

${\displaystyle {\frac {dx(t)}{dt}}=1/3*(-(a+1)*x(t)+a-c+z(t)*y(t))+((1-a)*(x(t)^{2}-y(t)^{2})+(2*(a+c-z(t)))*x(t)*y(t))}$ ${\displaystyle *{\frac {1}{3*{\sqrt {x(t)^{2}+y(t)^{2}}}}}}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dy(t)}{dt}}=1/3*((c-a-z(t))*x(t)-(a+1)*y(t))+((2*(a-1))*x(t)*y(t)+(a+c-z(t))*(x(t)^{2}-y(t)^{2}))}$ ${\displaystyle *{\frac {1}{3*{\sqrt {x(t)^{2}+y(t)^{2}}}}}}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {dz(t)}{dt}}=1/2*(3*x(t)^{2}*y(t)-y(t)^{3})-b*z(t)}$

parameters： a = 10, b = 8/3, c = 137/5;

initial conditions： x(0) = -8, y(0) = 4, z(0) = 10
