QiChen

Systems / ODEs / Coupled systems

A Lorenz/Chen-template flow whose extra y*z term gives multiple equilibria and a four-wing chaotic attractor.

Interactive: drag to rotate

Definition

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

Parameters

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

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

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