Doubling the coexisting attractors

Abstract

When the offset boosting technique is introduced into a chaotic system for attractor shifting, the number of coexisting attractors in the system can be doubled under the application of the employed absolute-value function. Consequently, the offset booster becomes a doubling parameter determining the distance between the two coexisting attractors, and therefore can polymerize these attractors to become a pseudo-multi-scroll attractor. This paper demonstrates that the attractor doubling operation can be applied to any dimension of the system and can also be nested at any time leading to the geometric growth of the coexisting attractors. Furthermore, various regimes of coexistence can be merged and composed together to reproduce an integrated attractor in the system.
