A Novel Method for Constructing Grid Multi-Wing Butterfly Chaotic Attractors via Nonlinear Coupling Control

A new method is presented to construct grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors. Based on the three-dimensional Lorenz system, two first-order differential equations are added along with one linear coupling controller, respectively. And a piecewise linear function, which is taken into the linear coupling controller, is designed to form a nonlinear coupling controller; thus a fivedimensional chaotic system is produced, which is able to generate girdmulti-wing butterfly chaotic attractors.Through the analysis of the equilibrium points, Lyapunov exponent spectrums, bifurcation diagrams, and Poincaré mapping in this system, the chaotic characteristic of the system is verified. Apart from the research above, an electronic circuit is designed to implement the system.The circuit experimental results are in accordance with the results of numerical simulation, which verify the availability and feasibility of this method.

In recent years, [17][18][19][20][21][22] reported the latest research achievement about the multi-wing and grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors.Reference [17] constructed a class of hyperchaotic systems generating 2  -wing butterfly hyperchaotic attractors by coordinate transition and absolute value transition.References [18,21] proposed the grid multiwing butterfly chaotic attractors by constructing heteroclinic loops.Reference [7] presented the first and second kinds of Lorenz-type systems to simplify the algebraic form of the Lorenz system while keeping the butterfly structure of Lorenz attractor.Reference [19] constructed a multi-wing butterfly chaotic system based on the first and second kinds of Lorenztype systems.By designing some piecewise functions to take place of the state variables of the Lorenz system directly, [20,22] proposed some multi-wing and grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic systems.Though the above literatures proposed some methods constructing multi-wing and grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors, it is very difficult to construct the new multi-wing and grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors via these approaches.Therefore, it is necessary to design the novel methods constructing multi-wing and grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors.
In this paper, through combining a linear coupling controller with a piecewise linear function skillful, a new method is presented to construct grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors.Based on the three-dimensional Lorenz system, two first-order differential equations are added along with one linear coupling controller, respectively.And a piecewise linear function, which is taken into the linear coupling controller, is designed to form a nonlinear coupling controller; thus a five-dimensional chaotic system is produced, which is able to generate gird multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors.

Constructing the Grid Multi-Wing Butterfly Chaotic Attractors via the Nonlinear Coupling Control
The mathematic model of Lorenz chaotic system is shown as follows: where  = 10,  = 8/3, and  = 28.
Constructing grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors via the nonlinear coupling control, the method is shown as follows.
Step 1.In order to construct gird multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors easier, the state variables need normalization processing in system (1).The method of the normalization processing is to make the peak value of the all state variables less than one via scale transformation.Let the scaling factors of the state variables  1 ,  2 and  3 be  1 ,  2 , and  3 , respectively.According to the numerical simulation results of the Lorenz system [1], we can choose  1 = 16,  2 = 23, and  3 = 40.Therefore, system (1) is changed as follows: ( Step 2. Two first-order differential equations about state variables  4 and  5 are added based on system (2).The exact approach is as follows: First, the first and second equations are copied and taken as the fourth and fifth equations in system (2), and then the state variable  1 is replaced with  4 in the fourth equation of system (2), and the state variable  5 is used to take place of the state variable  2 in the fifth equation of system (2).Therefore, a five-dimensional autonomous system is obtained: Step 3. Two linear coupling controllers  1 and  2 are added in the fourth and fifth equations of system (3), respectively.Then system (3) is changed as follows: where the coupling controllers  1 = ℎ( 1 −  4 ) and  2 = ℎ( 2 −  5 ).ℎ is gain parameter.

Basic Dynamic Characteristic
According to solution for the equation set (8), the equilibrium points of system (6) are obtained: where  6) is linearized and the Jacobian matrix is defined as where has one positive Lyapunov exponent, so it is in the chaotic state.From Figure 2(c), we can see that the Poincaré mapping spread out from multiple directions.This shows the complicated dynamic behavior of system (6).

Circuit Design of the Grid Multi-Wing Butterfly Chaotic Attractors
According to system (6), the circuit of grid multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors is designed as shown in Figure 3.
Let  1 =  2 =  2 = 1 and  1 = 0; the piecewise linear function ( 7) is changed as follows The circuit diagram of the piecewise linear function (11) is shown in Figure 4.
In Figures 3 and 4, all the operational amplifiers are selected as UA741CN.Their supply voltage  = ±15 V and saturated voltage  sat ≈ ±13.5 V.All the multipliers are of type AD633JN and their gain is 0.1. + is the positive pole of the supply voltage ; that is,  + = 15 V.  − is the negative pole of the supply voltage ; that is,  − = −15 V.According to Figure 3, the circuit equation can be obtained as follows: To observe the output wave experimentally, the time scale transformation must be executed for , that is, let  =  0  and  0 = 10 −3 , and (12) can be changed as follows: Let  0 = 10 kΩ,  0 = 10 nF,  = 10 kΩ, and  15 = 100 kΩ; according to system (6) and equation ( 13 In Figure 4 According to the piecewise linear function (11) and equation ( 14), we can choose  16 = 12 kΩ,  17 = 2 kΩ,  18 = 1 kΩ, and  19 = 14 kΩ.
According to Figures 3 and 4, the gird multi-wing butterfly chaotic attractors are obtained via circuit simulation software Multisim 10.0, as shown in Figure 5.When  1 ,  3 are switched on and  2 ,  4 , and  5 are switched off, the circuit generates 4 × 2-wing butterfly chaotic attractors as shown in Figure 5(a).When  1 ,  3 , and  4 are switched on and  2 and  5 are switched off, the circuit creates 4×3-wing butterfly chaotic attractors as shown in Figure 5(b).When  1 ,  2 ,  3 , and  4 are switched on and  5 is switched off, the circuit generates 6×3-wing butterfly chaotic attractors as shown in Figure 5(c), and the time series about the state variable  4 is shown in Figure 5(e).When  1 ,  2 ,  3 ,  4 , and  5 are switched on, the circuit creates 6×4-wing butterfly chaotic attractors as shown in Figure 5(d).
From Figures 5 and 1, we can see that the circuit experimental results are in agreement with the results of numerical simulation.
