Systems / ODEs / Coupled systems

The governing equations of a gyro with internal-torque feedback, derived from the rigid-body Euler equations, generating a symmetric two-scroll attractor.

Interactive: drag to rotate

Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{x} &= a x - y z \\ \dot{y} &= b y + x z \\ \dot{z} &= c z + \frac{x y}{3} \end{aligned} \]

Parameters

Symbol Default Role
a 5 self-feedback gain of the x channel
b -10 self-feedback gain of the y channel
c -0.38 self-feedback gain of the z channel

State variables: x, y, z

Properties

Lyapunov spectrum
TODO — lyapunov_spectrum failed: AttributeError
Kaplan–Yorke dimension
TODO — requires a numeric Lyapunov spectrum
Divergence ∇·f
$\nabla\!\cdot f = a + b + c$
constant
Equilibria
5 equilibria
0 stable · 5 unstable
