Generating multi-scroll chaotic attractors via switching control

This paper proposes a new switching control method, saturated function series approach, for generating multi-scroll chaotic attractors. The systematic methodology developed here can create multi-scroll chaotic attractors from a given 3-D linear autonomous system with a saturated function series controller. It includes 1-D n-scroll, 2-D n /spl times/ m-grid scroll, and 3-D n /spl times/ m /spl times/ l-grid scroll chaotic attractors. The chaos generation mechanism in multi-scroll systems is briefly discussed by analyzing the system equilibria.
