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

\[ \begin{aligned} y_{0}' &= - \frac{a y_{0}}{y_{1}^{2} + 1} \\ y_{1}' &= b y_{1} + y_{0} \end{aligned} \]

Parameters

Symbol Default Role
a 2.7 gain of the rational x-recurrence (primary control parameter)
b 0.35 linear feedback coefficient of y

Properties

Lyapunov spectrum
$+0.00048,\; -0.602$
computed at build
Kaplan–Yorke dimension
$D_{KY} = 1.001$
Divergence ∇·f
n/a — discrete map — flow divergence undefined (per-step contraction is |det J|)
Equilibria
1 fixed points
0 stable · 1 unstable

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

sys = ts.systems.ZeraouliaSprott()
traj = sys.iterate(steps=10_000)

exps = sys.lyapunov_spectrum()
ts.kaplan_yorke_dimension(exps)
