A hyperchaotic system from a chaotic system with one saddle and two stable node-foci

This paper presents a 4D new hyperchaotic system which is constructed by a linear controller to a 3D new chaotic system with one saddle and two stable node-foci. Some complex dynamical behaviors such as ultimate boundedness, chaos and hyperchaos of the simple 4D autonomous system are investigated and analyzed. The corresponding bounded hyperchaotic and chaotic attractor is first numerically verified through investigating phase trajectories. Lyapunove exponents. bifurcation path, analysis of power spectrum and Poincare projections. Finally. two complete mathematical characterizations for 4D Hopf bifurcation are rigorous derived and studied. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
