ZeraouliaSprott

Systems / Maps / Exotic maps

A minimal 2-D rational map whose x-recurrence is a single non-vanishing fraction — one of the simplest rational maps reaching chaos via a quasi-periodic route.

Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} x' &= - \frac{a x}{y^{2} + 1} \\ y' &= b y + x \end{aligned} \]

Parameters

Symbol Default Role
a 4.8 gain of the rational x-recurrence (primary control parameter)
b 0.35 linear feedback coefficient of y

State variables: x, y

Properties

Lyapunov spectrum
$+0.189,\; -0.644$
measured (QR tangent-map spectrum, 10**6 iterations, identical from every initial condition tried); the cited a = 2.7 is quasi-periodic
Kaplan–Yorke dimension
$D_{KY} = 1.293$
Divergence ∇·f
n/a — discrete map — flow divergence undefined (per-step contraction is |det J|)
Equilibria
1 fixed points
0 stable · 1 unstable

Use it in TSDynamics
