SprottA

Systems / ODEs / Chaotic attractors

Case A of Sprott's 1994 minimal-chaos search — a five-term conservative flow identical to the Nosé–Hoover thermostat, its chaotic sea threaded with invariant tori.

Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{y_{0}} &= y_{1} \\ \dot{y_{1}} &= - y_{0} + y_{1} y_{2} \\ \dot{y_{2}} &= 1 - y_{1}^{2} \end{aligned} \]

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

sys = ts.systems.SprottA()
traj = sys.integrate(final_time=100.0, dt=0.01)

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