Bouali2

Systems / ODEs / Coupled systems

An extended Van der Pol oscillator with a chaos-inducing feedback loop, proposed by Bouali as an idealised macroeconomic business-cycle model with a stretched-loop strange attractor.

Definition

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

Parameters

Symbol Default Role
a 3 self-excitation gain of the oscillator core
b 2.2 feedback gain of the z channel into x
bb 0 z-loop x*z cross-product gain
c 0 z-loop linear decay gain
g 1 nonlinear damping of the y channel
m -0.0026667 z-loop drive gain
y0 1 reference level of the x channel

State variables: x, y, z
