Complex Behavior of Simple Systems J. C. Sprott Department of Physics University of Wisconsin - Madison Presented to International Conference on Complex Systems in Nashua, NH on May 23, 2000
Lorenz Equations (1963) dx/dt = sy - sx dy/dt = -xz + rx - y dz/dt = xy - bz 7 terms, 2 quadratic nonlinearities, 3 parameters
Rössler Equations (1976) dx/dt = -y - z dy/dt = x + ay dz/dt = b + xz - cz 7 terms, 1 quadratic nonlinearity, 3 parameters
Lorenz Quote (1993) “One other study left me with mixed feelings. Otto Roessler of the University of Tübingen had formulated a system of three differential equations as a model of a chemical reaction. By this time a number of systems of differential equations with chaotic solutions had been discovered, but I felt I still had the distinction of having found the simplest. Roessler changed things by coming along with an even simpler one. His record still stands.”
Rössler Toroidal Model (1979) “Probably the simplest strange attractor of a 3-D ODE” (1998) dx/dt = -y - z dy/dt = x dz/dt = ay - ay2 - bz 6 terms, 1 quadratic nonlinearity, 2 parameters
Sprott (1994) • 14 more examples with 6 terms and 1 quadratic nonlinearity • 5 examples with 5 terms and 2 quadratic nonlinearities
Gottlieb (1996) What is the simplest jerk function that gives chaos? Displacement: x Velocity: = dx/dt Acceleration: = d2x/dt2 Jerk: = d3x/dt3
Sprott (1997) “Simplest Dissipative Chaotic Flow” dx/dt = y dy/dt = z dz/dt = -az + y2 - x 5 terms, 1 quadratic nonlinearity, 1 parameter
Fu and Heidel (1997) Dissipative quadratic systems with less than 5 terms cannot be chaotic. They would have no adjustable parameters.
Weaker Nonlinearity dx/dt = y dy/dt = z dz/dt = -az + |y|b - x Seek path in a-b space that gives chaos as b1.
Linz and Sprott (1999) dx/dt = y dy/dt = z dz/dt = -az - y + |x| - 1 6 terms, 1 abs nonlinearity, 2 parameters (but one =1)
General Form dx/dt = y dy/dt = z dz/dt = -az - y + G(x) G(x) =±(b|x| - c) G(x) =-bmax(x,0) + c G(x) =±(bx - csgn(x)) etc….
