Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{y_{0}} &= a y_{0} + q y_{1} y_{2} \\ \dot{y_{1}} &= b y_{0} + d y_{1} - y_{0} y_{2} \\ \dot{y_{2}} &= e y_{2} + f y_{0} y_{1} \end{aligned} \]

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

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

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