Circuit Implementation Of A Modified Chaotic System With Hyperbolic Sine Nonlinearities Using Bi-Color Led

In this paper, a chaotic three dimansional dynamical system is proposed, that is a modification of the system in Volos et al. (2017). The new system has two hyperbolic sine nonlinear terms, as opposed to the original system that only included one, in order to optimize system's chaotic behavior, which is confirmed by the calculation of the maximal Lyapunov exponents and Kaplan-Yorke dimension. The system is experimentally realized, using Bi-color LEDs to emulate the hyperbolic sine functions. An extended dynamical analysis is then performed, by computing numerically the system's bifurcation and continuation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents and phase portraits, and comparing the numerical simulations with the circuit simulations. A series of interesting phenomena are unmasked, like period doubling route to chaos, coexisting attractors and antimonotonicity, which are all verified from the circuit realization of the system. Hence, the circuit setup accurately emulates the chaotic dynamics of the proposed system.
