SprottTorus

Systems / ODEs / Chaotic attractors

A time-reversible equilibrium-free flow that is conservative on nested invariant tori for some initial conditions and hosts a hidden strange attractor with a twin repellor for others.

Definition

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

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

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

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