Asymmetric Double Strange Attractors in a Simple Autonomous Jerk Circuit

Figure 2

Bifurcation diagrams (a) showing local maxima of the coordinate versus μ of the jerk attractor in two directions (red dot indicates first direction from down to up and the blue dot indicates the second direction from up to down) and the corresponding graphs (b) of 1D largest numerical Lyapunov () exponent plotted in the range . A positive exponent () indicates chaos, while regular states are characterized with negative values of Lyapunov exponent ().
