Abstract This research work proposes a new three-dimensional chaotic system with a hidden attractor. The proposed chaotic system consists of only two quadratic nonlinearities and the system possesses no critical points. The phase portraits and basic qualitative properties of the new chaotic system such as Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov dimension have been described in detail. Finally, we give some engineering applications of the new chaotic system like circuit simulation and control of wireless mobile robot.

Abstract This paper presents a new seven-term 3-D jerk chaotic system with two cubic nonlinearities. The phase portraits of the novel jerk chaotic system are displayed and the qualitative properties of the jerk system are described. The novel jerk chaotic system has a unique equilibrium at the origin, which is a saddle-focus and unstable. The Lyapunov exponents of the novel jerk chaotic system are obtained as L1 = 0:2974, L2 = 0 and L3 = −3:8974. Since the sum of the Lyapunov exponents of the jerk chaotic system is negative, we conclude that the chaotic system is dissipative. The Kaplan-Yorke dimension of the new jerk chaotic system is found as DKY = 2:0763. Next, an adaptive backstepping controller is designed to globally stabilize the new jerk chaotic system with unknown parameters. Moreover, an adaptive backstepping controller is also designed to achieve global chaos synchronization of the identical jerk chaotic systems with unknown parameters. The backstepping control method is a recursive procedure that links the choice of a Lyapunov function with the design of a controller and guarantees global asymptotic stability of strict feedback systems. MATLAB simulations are shown to illustrate all the main results derived in this work.
