A Complete Analytical Study on the Dynamics of Simple Chaotic Systems

Abstract

We report in this paper a complete analytical study on the bifurcations and chaotic phenomena observed in certain second-order, non-autonomous, dissipative chaotic systems. One-parameter bifurcation diagrams obtained from the analytical solutions proving the numerically observed chaotic phenomena such as antimonotonicity, period-doubling sequences, Feignbaum remerging have been presented. Further, the analytical solutions are used to obtain the basins of attraction, phase-portraits and Poincare maps for different chaotic systems. Experimentally observed chaotic attractors in some of the systems are presented to confirm the analytical results. The bifurcations and chaotic phenomena studied through explicit analytical solutions is reported in the literature for the first time.
