By introducing a feedback control to a proposed Sprott E system, an extremely complex chaotic attractor with only one stable equilibrium is derived. The system evolves into periodic and chaotic behaviors by detailed numerical as well as theoretical analysis. Analysis results show that chaos also can be generated via a period-doubling bifurcation when the system has one and only one stable equilibrium. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, the adaptive control law and the parameter update law are derived...

In order to further understand a complex 3-D dynamical system proposed by Qi et al, showing four-wing chaotic attractors with very complicated topological structures over a large range of parameters, we study degenerate Hopf bifurcations in the system. It exhibits the result of a period-doubling cascade to chaos from a Hopf bifurcation point. The theoretical analysis and simulations demonstrate the rich dynamics of the system.

Hopf bifurcation, dynamics at infinity and robust modified function projective synchronization (RMFPS) problem for Sprott E system with quadratic perturbation were studied in this paper. By using the method of projection for center manifold computation, the subcritical and the supercritical Hopf bifurcation were analyzed and obtained. Then, in accordance with the Poincare compactification of polynomial vector field in $R^3$, the dynamical behaviors at infinity were described completely. Moreover, a...

The biped robot with flat feet and fixed ankles walking down a slope is a typical impulsive dynamic system. Steady passive gaits for such mechanism can be induced on certain shallow slopes without actuation. The steady gaits can be described by using stable non-smooth limit cycles in phase plane. In this paper, it is shown that the robot gaits are affected by three parameters, namely the ground slope, the length of the foot, and the mass ratio of the robot. As the ground slope is gradually increased,...

Periodic parametric perturbation control and dynamics at infinity for a 3D autonomous quadratic chaotic system are studied in this paper. Using the Melnikov's method, the existence of homoclinic orbits, oscillating periodic orbits and rotating periodic orbits are discussed after transferring the 3D autonomous chaotic system to a slowly varying oscillator. Moreover, the parameter bifurcation conditions of these orbits are obtained. In order to study the global structure, the dynamics at infinity...
