Generation of multi‐scroll chaotic attractors from a jerk circuit with a special form of a sine function

Abstract

A novel chaotic system for generating multi‐scroll attractors based on a Jerk circuit using a special form of a sine function (SFSF) is proposed in this paper, and the SFSF is the product of a sine function and a sign function. Although there are infinite equilibrium points in this system, the scroll number of the generated chaotic attractors is certain under appropriate system parameters. The dynamical properties of the proposed chaotic system are studied through Lyapunov exponents, phase portraits, and bifurcation diagrams. It is found that the scroll number of the chaotic system in the left and right part of the x‐y plane can be determined arbitrarily by adjusting the values of the parameters in the SFSF, and the size of attractors is dominated by the frequency of the SFSF. Finally, an electronic circuit of the proposed chaotic system is implemented on Pspice, and the simulation results of electronic circuit are in agreement with the numerical ones.
