Dynamical behavior analysis and bifurcation mechanism of a new 3-D nonlinear periodic switching system

This paper presents a new periodic switching chaotic system, which is topologically non-equivalent to the original sole chaotic systems. Of particular interest is that the periodic switching chaotic system can generate stable solution in a very wide parameter domain and has rich dynamic phenomena. The existence of a stable limit cycle with a suitable choice of the parameters is investigated. The complex dynamical evolutions of the switching system composed of the Rössler system and the Chua’s circuit are discussed, which is switched by equal period. Then the possible bifurcation behaviors of the system at the switching boundary are obtained. The mechanism of the different behaviors of the system is investigated. It is pointed out that the trajectories of the system have obvious switching points, which are decided by the periodic signal. Meanwhile, the system may be led to chaos via a period-doubling bifurcation, resulting in the switching collisions between the trajectories and the non-smooth boundary points. The complicated dynamics are studied by virtue of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Furthermore, the control methods of this periodic switching system are discussed. The results we have obtained clearly show that the nonlinear switching system includes different waveforms and frequencies and it deserves more detailed research.
