#6 - The Dequan Li Attractor
Published on
A new 3D autonomous dynamical system proposed by Dequan Li (Physics Letters A, 372, 387, 2008.) produces a chaotic attractor whose global topological properties are unusual. The attractor has a rotation symmetry and only a single real fixed point for the parameters used in his study. The symmetric, complex pair of fixed points cannot be ignored: they play a major role in organizing the motion on a surface of peculiar toroidal type. #1
