Generating one-,two-,three-and four-scroll attractors from a novel four-dimensional smooth autonomous chaotic system

A new four-dimensional quadratic smooth autonomous chaotic system is presented in this paper,which can exhibit periodic orbit and chaos under the conditions on the system parameters.Importantly,the system can generate one-,two-,three-and four-scroll chaotic attractors with appropriate choices of parameters.Interestingly,all the attractors are generated only by changing a single parameter.The dynamic analysis approach in the paper involves time series,phase portraits,Poincar’e maps,a bifurcation diagram,and Lyapunov exponents,to investigate some basic dynamical behaviours of the proposed four-dimensional system.
