Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{y_{0}} &= a y_{0} y_{0} - a y_{0} y_{1} - b y_{2} \\ \dot{y_{1}} &= g y_{0}^{2} y_{1} - g y_{1} \\ \dot{y_{2}} &= bb m y_{0} y_{2} - c y_{2} - 1.5 m y_{0} \end{aligned} \]

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

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

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