Infinite lattice of hyperchaotic strange attractors

Abstract By introducing trigonometric functions in a 4-D hyperchaotic snap system, infinite 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D lattices of hyperchaotic strange attractors were produced. Furthermore a general approach was developed for constructing self-reproducing systems, in which infinitely many attractors share the same Lyapunov exponents. In this case, cumbersome constants are necessary to obtain offset boosting; correspondingly additional periodic functions are needed for attractor hatching. As an example, a hyperchaotic system with a hidden attractor was transformed for reproducing 1-D, 2-D infinite lattices of hyperchaotic attractors and a 4-D lattice of chaotic attractors.
