Generating chaos via x|x|

Research output: Journal Publications and Reviews › RGC 22 - Publication in policy or professional journal

Abstract

This paper investigates the role of the function x|x| as a chaos generator in nonautonomous systems. A Duffing-like nonautonomous oscillator is used for illustration. It is rigorously proven via the Melnikov function method that this particular quadratic function induces Smale horseshoes to the Duffing-like system. Moreover, its physical meaning as an energy function is demonstrated, which provides a critical value for the emerge of chaos. Simulations with bifurcation analysis are given for better understanding of the underlying dynamics.
