LiuChen

Systems / ODEs / Coupled systems

A generalized-Lorenz double-scroll flow (Sakarya family) at the Liu–Chen parameters, keeping two quadratic cross-products with no linear cross-coupling.

Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{x} &= a x + h y + s y z \\ \dot{y} &= - b y - p x + q x z \\ \dot{z} &= c z - r x y \end{aligned} \]

Parameters

Symbol Default Role
a 0.4 x self-feedback
b 12 y self-feedback
c -5 z self-feedback
h 0 y→x linear coupling
p 0 x→y linear coupling
q -1 x·z strength
r 1 x·y strength
s 1 y·z strength

State variables: x, y, z
