Maximal unstable dissipative interval to preserve multi-scroll attractors via multi-saturated functions

Abstract

"In this paper, we present families of piecewise linear systems which are controlled by a continuous piecewise monoparametric control function for the generation of monoparametric families of multi-scroll attractors. Thus, the maximum range of values that the parameter set can take in order to preserve the useful dynamics for generating of multi-scroll attractors is found and it will be called maximal robust dynamics interval. This class of dynamical systems is the result of combining two or more unstable “one-spiral” trajectories. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in order to preserve multi-scroll attractors in terms of a parameter, i.e., a family of multi-scroll attractors is generated by means of a family of switching systems with multiple monoparametric companion matrices. Lastly, we provide an example to show how the developed theory works."
