Abstract:
This paper reports a simple parallel chaotic circuit with only four circuit elements: a capacitor, an inductor, a thermistor, and a linear negative resistor. The proposed system was analyzed with MATLAB R2018 through some numerical methods, such as largest Lyapunov exponent spectrum (LLE), phase diagram, Poincaré map, dynamic map, and time-domain waveform. The results revealed 11 kinds of chaotic attractors, 4 kinds of periodic attractors, and some attractive characteristics (such as coexistence attractors and transient transition behaviors). In addition, spectral entropy and sample entropy are adopted to analyze the phenomenon of coexisting attractors. The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation demonstrate that the system has rich dynamic characteristics.
