Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{x} &= - a x + a y \\ \dot{y} &= b x + c y + w - x z \\ \dot{z} &= - d z + y^{2} \\ \dot{w} &= - e x \end{aligned} \]

Parameters

Symbol Default Role
a 27.5 linear coupling rate of the x–y subsystem
b 3 linear gain in the y equation
c 19.3 linear gain in the y equation
d 2.9 damping of the z mode (fed by y²)
e 3.3 feedback gain of the auxiliary state w onto x

State variables: x, y, z, w
