CHAOTIC ATTRACTORS OF THE CONJUGATE LORENZ-TYPE SYSTEM

A new conjugate Lorenz-type system is introduced in this paper. The system contains as special cases the conjugate Lorenz system, conjugate Chen system and conjugate Lü system. Chaotic dynamics of the system in the parametric space is numerically and thoroughly investigated. Meanwhile, a set of conditions for possible existence of chaos are derived, which provide some useful guidelines for searching chaos in numerical simulations. Furthermore, some basic dynamical properties such as Lyapunov exponents, bifurcations, routes to chaos, periodic windows, possible chaotic and periodic-window parameter regions and the compound structure of the system are demonstrated with various numerical examples.
