Interactive: drag to rotate

Definition

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

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

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

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