Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{y_{0}} &= - A a \sin{\left(a t \right)} \\ \dot{y_{1}} &= - B b \sin{\left(b t + \delta_{y} \right)} \\ \dot{y_{2}} &= - C c \sin{\left(c t + \delta_{z} \right)} \end{aligned} \]

Parameters

Symbol	Default	Role
A	1	amplitude along the x axis

C	1	amplitude along the z axis
a	3	frequency along the x axis
b	2	frequency along the y axis
c	5	frequency along the z axis
delta_y	(1/2)*pi	phase shift of y relative to x

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

sys = ts.systems.Lissajous3D()
traj = sys.integrate(final_time=100.0, dt=0.01)

exps = sys.lyapunov_spectrum()
