Elegant Chaos in Fractional-Order System without Equilibria

A new fractional-order chaotic system with no equilibria is presented. The proposed system can be considered elegant in the sense given by Sprott (2010), since the corresponding system equations contain very few terms and the system parameters have a minimum of digits. The chaotic dynamics are analyzed using the predictor-corrector algorithm when the fractional-order of the derivative is 0.98. Finally, the presence of chaos is validated by applying different numerical methods.
