Generation of 3-D Grid Multi-Scroll Chaotic Attractors Based on Sign Function and Sine Function

A three directional (3-D) multi-scroll chaotic attractors based on the Jerk system with nonlinearity of the sine function and sign function is introduced in this paper. The scrolls in the X-direction are generated by the sine function, which is a modified sine function (MSF). In addition, the scrolls in Y and Z directions are generated by the sign function series, which are the superposition of some sign functions with different time-shift values. In the X-direction, the scroll number is adjusted by changing the comparative voltages of the MSF, and the ones in Y and Z directions are regulated by the sign function. The basic dynamics of Lyapunov exponent spectrum, phase diagrams, bifurcation diagram and equilibrium points distribution were studied. Furthermore, the circuits of the chaotic system are designed by Multisim10, and the circuit simulation results indicate the feasibility of the proposed chaotic system for generating chaotic attractors. On the basis of the circuit simulations, the hardware circuits of the system are designed for experimental verification. The experimental results match with the circuit simulation results, this powerfully proves the correctness and feasibility of the proposed system for generating 3-D grid multi-scroll chaotic attractors.
