Extreme Multistability and Extreme Events in a Novel Chaotic Circuit with Hidden Attractors

Extreme multistable systems can show vibrant dynamical properties and infinitely many coexisting attractors generated by changing the initial conditions while the system and its parameters remain unchanged. On the other hand, the frequency of extreme events in society is increasing which could have a catastrophic influence on human life worldwide. Thus, complex systems that can model such behaviors are very significant in order to avoid or control various extreme events. Also, hidden attractors are a crucial issue in nonlinear dynamics since they cannot be located and recognized with conventional methods. Hence, finding such systems is a vital task. This paper proposes a novel five-dimensional autonomous chaotic system with a line of equilibria, which generates hidden attractors. Furthermore, this system can exhibit extreme multistability and extreme events simultaneously. The fascinating features of this system are examined by dynamical analysis tools such as Poincare sections, connecting curves, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents spectra, and attraction basins. Moreover, the reliability of the introduced system is confirmed through analog electrical circuit design so that this chaotic circuit can be employed in many engineering fields.
